I am not sure if your drilling sketch is formated correctly by this web site. Hmmm, sounds as if you have a drilling for oily wet/dry conditions on the ball - and probably the oil is lacking and it rolls too early, burning up?

My suggestion: With your high track, my guess would be pin above the bridge, maybe even pushed a bit out towards the track, and the CG stacked, ending up near grip center or even a bit further towards your PAP. Should be a (almost) 6x4 drilling. Putting the pin lower might make the ball hit the holes. Ball should go looong and the make a late, sharp turn, easy to control.

If this is still too much, try putting an X-hole above your PAP to reduce flare and tame the thing down a bit, if necessary.

Hope this helps?

Ah, yes, that matches your description better. I suppose you get victimized by the ball's smooth and early roll. It should do well on oily, spotty conditions, but not on dry turf - unless you can deliver it with no side roll and a good drag shot.

Uh, if it is THAT dry, then it is time to pull the polyester ball out of the bag... or a Red Pearl Urethane Hammer (remake wthout a core). With the Dry/R drilled that weak, I do not see an opportunity to put anything with a core below it! Good luck, though...

Ryan,

on their open play house shot I can ave 200+ but it is flat and they will not use it for leagues..

I poped down the side of the lane last night, oil to 35, just cocked up at the front (middle sides everywhere). I think there is a bit of jiggery pokery going on with the league bowlers,

I bought the Mercury especially for this house, everywhere else i have a good arsenal which I can match up.

Dusted off an old Clear Wolf with the asym block in last night,drilled very weak, it was bowlable but not enough pop, and then became eratic when pattern broke down from staight plastic bowlers (after 6 frames), still moving 20 boards plus at times. Outside 5 right side only past 30ft OOB, outside 5 short of 30ft clean.

The Mercury should be re drilled for next league there, I will keep you posted.

Still frustrated

Graham

(Bowling in best house I have found in Uk tonight so I should be happier tomorrow)
