Billy O's Layout?
« on: February 28, 2010, 10:31:03 AM »
Was Billy O using a variation of the double thumb layout today, because good lord that was one gigantic weight hole by his thumbhole. The ball looked fantastic once he lined up correctly

It''s hard to say what type of affect that large of a weight hole would have on that core.  The core of Nasty has some interesting characteristics that make it unique at the moment.

Do they have a Schlemer reports type deal for the Hammer staffers?

since the intermidiate diff is very very low on that ball i have to assume it was to creat more assymetry

sign up for xtra frames on pba.com and you can see the ball in the post game show...it was not a double thumb...bigger hole then thumb hole so ball would roll early and be more stable down lane...that's right tour guys don't want balls that go long and hook late...had to throw that in there because customers always ask us for their balls to "go long, hook late"

Wouldn't it be this way though because most bowl on a house shot, and with all the friction present on a house shot the ball would probably die at your feet? I mean drill up stuff according to what you bowl on. I would think something strong and early on a flat pattern would be fairly obvious.

You understand what his comment meant I'm sure Jerry. Even at the open, some of the not so good bowlers were talking about needing to drill a bowling ball to longer and hook harder on the back end, which was not exactly what you wanted to see out there...I guess they wanted to be penalized more than the washouts and occasional three off the rack shots they threw..
