Plastic Ball Question
« on: January 22, 2010, 04:23:45 AM »
SHould you drill a platic ball inteded for spares or mostly 10 pins just like your other equipment? I have a plastic ball now, drill with fingertip grips and a thumb slug, identical to my strike balls. I'm just wondering what others do and if i am doing something wrong.

How do you mean "differently"?

If you mean span/pitches, then yes, it should be identical to your other balls.

If you mean drilling, plastics, actually polyesters, except for the Lane#1 XXXL, all have pancake cores. You really can't drill them the same, as most resin/particle/urethane balls now have dynamic cores, where the pin or the pin & MB matter. The pin doesn't matter on pancake cores, only the CG matters.
