whats the difference between RS-X Pro Pin and the
RS-X?? i was looking on bowlingball.com for a cheap
ball for light oil. reviews werent bad on the RS-X,
but was curious as to what the difference was to the
RS-X Pro Pin.
-
Pro-Pin is a reference to PIN placement I.E. it most likely has a PIN 4"+ from the CG...
-
Heh, Weird selling point.. usually Pro-Pin balls have FEWER drilling options, because a lot of drillings will put the CG too far from the centre of the grip to be easily drillible (to keep legal). However, if you are looking for a bargian, this is the way to go!
Also, if you didnt want this for lighter oil (though personally I think the RSX is a bit strong for this!) the Pro-Pin would be fine as you would most likely be drilling with a long high pin, which is perfect for a big pin out ball.

Just so you know a Pro Pin is only a bowling ball that the Pin is 5 - 6.5" from the CG. Anything longer is a blem and anything shorter than that is a 1st.
Thanks,

so is it worth getting? or is the ball toast?
-
If your planned layout is compatible with having a 5"+ pin, sure. If you want to put the pin below the fingers and swing the CG out and the TW isn't fairly low, you'll have a pretty tough time. If you want to put the pin high, it's fine.

i see. i plan on drilling it to go long with a flip
or strong backend. i like to play inside/deep inside.
dont want it to roll early or midlane either. something
for a light to med oil.
-
You won't have to worry about early roll or too much midlane with a long pin like this, my suggestion for a layout would be something like this...

You may need a balance hole out past the CG (i'd say about 5" from your center line on your midline, past the CG), i'd kick the CG out about two or two and a half inches and see how it goes!

Loose, i took your advice and had it drilled that way. the shot
today with the Action Max was hitting 16/17 with a swing to 6/7 and
ripping back to the pocket....love that shot! pulled the RSX out
and tried same shot, but it was flat. had to play down & in, 10 to 5.
she come roaring back nailed the shot and banged a 7-10 split. next
shot, stone 10, than week 7, than bone 9. made a 2 board left move,
10 in the pit, next shot messenger took out 9. than 10 in the pit again.
overall the RSX reacted how i wanted it to...kudos to you! we will see how
the 2nd shift is on tuesday now. the ball goes long and has strong arc in
backend. i think it would be a perfect setup for light oil. thanks again.
