I just ordered a Mars for my wife today and was wondering how most of you drilled the Mars. Being that it's a "weak" ball, did you drill it on the stronger side or weak.
My wife has slow speed (12 - 12.5 on Quibica) with about 200 or so rpms. Her axis is 4 1/16 over and 1 5/8 up. With her small span (3 1/2 cut to cut) that puts her axis almost by her ring finger. Makes it hard to lay balls out.
I was thinking of a 55 x 4 x 50 layout, which would put the pin up above her middle finger. Both leagues she bowls in are on AMF synthetics with a brand new Kegel machine and they use the Easy Street (38') pattern with low volume of oil. Easy Street is what BTM uses as their Dry pattern.
I don't know of anyone that throws a Mars and don't have much experience with it so just looking for comments/suggestions from those that do.
Right now she has a 505C (50 x 4.25 x 60) which rolls way too early and a 505A (55 x 4.25 x 60) which she can get to the pocket but leaves a large amount of 10 pins. She also had a B/G Avalanche but I think I drilled that too weak (75 x 4.5 x 65) and that left her 5-7's.
I'm looking for something that will allow her to play more of a down and in shot, be controllable on the back, but still carry the corners (I know, who isn't
) Thanks.
