Virtual Gravity problems
« on: February 27, 2009, 03:59:33 AM »
Well i acquired this ball about a month ago.  I have bowled on a few different patterns and it just did not match up.  Shark, short and long THS's and a wide open THS.  I've had the ball at 1000, 1000 shine, 2000 and 4000 abrln.  It seemed to never pick up in the soup and the second it hit the dirt it was gone.  It made my over-under wet/dry hell house shot play tough.  I was about to chuck it in the garbage but i decided to change surface one more time.  this time i went with 1000 shine & hit the back flair lines with 1000 pad to knock the shine off.  BAM!!! it was perfect.  i crushed em last night and was able to play deeper and create more angle than anyone in the building.  If you are experiencing this same over-under rxn do as i do.

You didn't tell us what type of layout you have on this ball.

Just so you know, "hitting the back flares" and not sanding the rest of the ball is not legal per USBC and now in the PBA as well. Whether or not you will get caught is another matter entirely.

I'm joking with you guys.  But why is it when i try and give a little advice some party pooper has to ruin it.  Don't be a DB, scuff your back flair lines if you want.  i doubt anyone will say anything and if they do then pick on them and their equipment.

So as long as nobody says anything then no rule is broken?  Excellent logic there.

It definitely is illegal, but from what I understand a lot of people do it.  Anyways, I'm surprised to hear that you had issues with the Virtual.  My roommate bought one and basically he can throw it anywhere or anyway and still get to the pocket.  He has his OOB and literally will throw the ball from 20-1 and hit the pocket, it's sick.

He's a righty, and I'm a lefty, and I threw his for 3 shots last night and all three were flush strikes.

Well I'm glad you found a way to make it work even if you are a cheater.
