what should I do? What cant it do!!!
« on: March 07, 2006, 05:48:29 AM »
I recently pluggd and redrilled a RotoGrip DefCon I. I laid it out with a "Rev Leverage" drilling from Ebonites Symmetric Layouts Page.

The layout description says to put the weight hole at 6" at a 45 degree angle through the CG from the center of grip. Knowing that this ball flares ALOT i put the weight hole only 3 1/2 inches away to prevent the falre rolling over it.

This ball is not giving me the reaction I was hoping for,actually it does not do much of anything. The DefCon is an aggressive particle ball with a rather aggressive layout. Threw the shot last night in league wiht the most volume of oil that I bowl on (39 feet flatter than THS) and it skated and skated and didnt really bite the dry unless I slowed my speed down.

what should I do or what is the problem here. Could the lack of reaction be from the weight hole being put in the wrong place or what?

This is just a test ball so im not opposed to plugging it up and redrilling it.

The Pin on this ball is only 1 3/4".
But, I sanded the ball up to 1500 and it works great. Yesterday I shot 300 and 299 with it!!
It was the doubles event of my Association Tournament and I shot 300 234 221 and my partner shot 698 with 0 hcp will probably win the title for us. Then I re-entered with a different partner ans shot 247 299 189 and although that set wqont fare quite as well as my first set. The first set of 755 with my 678 in singles might give me the combine win as well!!

The reason I drilled the Def Con was to see if this layout would work on a new ball. And now i dont think im gonna drill the other ball!!
Thanks Roto Grip this ball rocks!!
