Author Topic: Drilling question for Nano. (Read 5186 times)

JJ · « **on:** July 26, 2011, 04:42:10 AM »

I have a Nano coming and it has a little more top weight that I wanted (3.09). Have any of you put Storms 3 1/2 X 5 X 3 (3 1/2 pin to pap, 5 mas bias to pap with a 3 inch pin buffer) on your Nano? What reaction would I get from this drill?

I bowl on a pretty heavy oil condition (41 feet) and don't have a lot of hand (285 and 16 1/2 mph). My favorite drilling is the pin next to the ring finger and the Mass Bias 3-4 inches right of my thumb hole. I am pretty sure my driller can't do that with this much top weight so I am looking for something that will work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The specs on the ball coming is 15.04 / 3.09 top / 2.5 - 3 inch pin.

I don't think three oz of top weight will cause a problem with that layout. Have your driller lay the ball out like you want and he will be able to get it in spec with a weight hole.

Those that can do. Those that can't complain. Pimpin ain't easy, but it's mandatory.

my driller told me when drilling mine to try and avoid weight holes in nanos when ever possible.

It sounds like your driller has a misguided opinion.

(For the record, my Nano really came to life for me after I put a P3 extra hole in it)

You need a new ball driller...the core for the Nano isn't magical...weight holes enhance or limit ball motion. If he/she doesn't understand how to utilize a weight hole you should have your stuff drilled elsewhere.

+1

The only reason I try to avoid a weight hole is if I think k might try to sale the ball later.

+1.....this whole topic has become bizarre because of the OP's 3 ounce top weight concern and not wanting to put a weight hole in the ball. Shoot, it's a minor miracle when I don't have to have a additional hole added to the ball.

Seems to me that you should have saved a few bucks and gotten yourself a Roto Grip Outlaw (which is almost as strong as the Nano from what I've been hearing) to potentially butcher.

I agree completely. Crazy what some people come up with. As to the OP...3 oz. of top is not much at all. Should be able to use any layout you like.

my driller is fine. he knows how to use weight holes just fine this was merely a suggestion he brought up while drilling my nano and it stuck in my head. it came from a touring staffer. that he is best friends with and bowls regionals with. i called him this morning left voice mail but i think he is on his way to a regional.

Maybe he needs a new best friend instead then......jk....but seriously there is no reason to not use a weight hole in a Nano...

JJ,

To open my thoughts, 41' is not long, I bowl at a house that runs a 43' pattern and most tournaments run shots between 35-41. With that said, remember the Nano is a STRONG rock and placing the pin 3 ½" from your pap could be overkill. There are a lot of bowlers who only see the ball down the lane and when it does not hook, they assume the shot is tight. What happens to a lot of us is we drill the ball so strong that it starts up and stops before it rolls through where we are looking. I'd steer you towards the 4 x 4 x 2 layout over the 3.5 x 5 x 3 (if you want to drill from the sheet), the 4 x 4 x 2 layout gives you more looks with the ball.

I do have a Nano drilled weaker than what you're thinking as my rev rate hoovers around 500 rpm and I throw it 18+ mph. This ball is like no other as it reacts like it has teeth. For me, this ball shines of course when the heads are tight and/or when the back ends are tighter. It is fun watching this ball blow a pattern open. Good luck with yours.

P.S. A top weight of 3oz is normal

Bakes...I refuse to bevel my holes!!!

As it was already said, that is just absurd. Mine is 35* 4 1/4 35* with a P3 hole and it does it's job on true long/heavy oil.

I stone 8s and 9s like its cool...
