cRAZY or sane question
« on: July 14, 2014, 01:52:04 PM »
I will be picking up my yeti and reaxV2 soon, they are ready at the pro shop. I have a grease monkey that will be here end of week.
Am I crazy for thinking I should throw these two that are ready and wait to have the Grease Monkey drilled? Or should I go ahead and have the Grease Monkey drilled and have the pro give me his thought on how to lay it out?
As of now, I don't even know how the yeti and V2 are set up.
Am I correct that these balls named are all in different 'categories' so there should be enough separation that layout should not matter too much?
I know that cover prep is more important, but I can adjust cover easier than the drilling.
Really excited to try all of these.

      I have all three of these balls. The V2 and Yeti are drilled the same pin over bridge. The Grease monkey I have pin down. The V2 is a solid asymmetric and the Yeti is a pearl symmetric. These differences will create different looks.
      The V2 for me, is a sharper break point and a harder move to the pocket. The Yeti is much smoother off the spot.  I usually start the night with the V2. When I  start to keep too deep I switch over to the Yeti and can stay in the same general area. The Grease Monkey I love when the lanes are drier. If there's any significant amount of oil, I have a hard time getting it to roll correctly. 
   I would throw the two you have get a feel for them. Then let your pro shop guy know what you think you might need as a drilling on the Monkey.

I would wait to drill the Grease Monkey. Yes all three ball are in different performance categories but that doesn't mean the difference will be much in some cases.

Throw the two you have and see where you are at before drilling the last.

Don't be afraid to have the surface(s) modified to gain better separation.  --  JohnP

John P is right change the cover its easy and if you don't like the change of reaction you can put it back easy without filling and redriling  Buy some different grit pads and do it yourself

They are correct surface adjustments are good. I have 2 basic drills I use on my equipment and if I'm not getting the reaction space I'm looking for between balls then I'll hit them with the Abralon pad or polish.
