Looking for Vertigo Drilling Suggestions
« on: February 24, 2005, 05:19:52 AM »
My friend just a Vertigo and I'm wondering how to drill it for him.  I told him to get a 2-3inch pin and 3 oz top weight.  I hope the RAD, CG, and pin line up.  Anyway, his PAP is 5 inches over and 0 up or down with good hand and medium revs.  He's looking for it to be his strongest ball to handle heavy oil and not quit with probably a strong arc roll also.  I'm thinking of putting the pin 3 3/8" from the PAP, stacking the CG and RAD underneath it.  So more or less a stack leverage with the RAD 1" to 1 1/2" from his thumb.  Taking it to probably 1/2 to 3/4 oz sideweight and probably more thumb then finger weight to get it to roll a little sooner.  He doesn't have a ball like this.  What do all you Storm guys out there think?  Thanx.

If you go to the Storm web site you can contact them directly and ask them. From the conversations I have had with Storm I don't think they would recommend the leverage pin. They tend to lean more towards 4.5-5" pin. The Storm rep told me that the balls burn up to quickly with that configuration.

I just got my drilled 4.5" PAP to Pin, Cg and RAD stacked hole on the axis...and this ball goes longer than my big block diesel (sanded 3 3/8" stacked)  and flips like a champ...it outhooks my big block by about 6 boards such a great ball...

I have mine drilled pin up at 4.5" from PAP with the RAD strong and weight on my axis 13/16" 2" deep drilled back to 1/4 +side. Shined with Reacta shine and this ball is still as strong as any of my other balls. I used it out of box for a few games but it just flared and I think burned up too soon. I really love the roll pattern of the ball and am looking forward to drilling another one. Make sure you keep the RAD at least 2" away from the track. Dont put the RAD under the thumb!

Billy has jsut told me that if u put the rad there it makes the ball do a "retard hook" (those r his words, lol) He said thats what they said at the factory bc the mb is so strong.

My VIP ball came with a 2" pin and I put the pin under my fingers on the grip center the cg falls approx. 3/4" to the right of grip center on the midline and the rad is 2" right of center line. No weight hole needed. I left ball out of box surface and this ball flat out revs up and hooks. Best look I have ever had in a masterline ball. This ball kinda reminds me of a solid thunder road on steroids. This ball does well for me on heavy medium and long patterns. Ball really shines on carrydown. Going to drill me 2 more and polish them. More on this later.

I got mine drilled out today and boy does that sucker TURN. I know a storm staffer get his drilled out so I decided to get the same drilling as him. The pin right beside the ring finger and the cg swung way out right and the rad in the strong position. Very good reaction ALOT of backend!! If You want this ball to turn get that drilling. GREAT BALL!!

If the cg was in a "strong" poistion, it would not be swung "way out". Strong position is 2inch over from the thumb.

I am curious to know why you don't recommend the Rad under the thumb.

Storm shows this as a recommended drilling (#3 I think)and I have a couple of balls drilled this way with a great reaction.

I just ordered a Vertigo with this drilling. Hope I didn't make a mistake.

The RAD under the Thumb but really being too close to the track can sometimes retard the hook potential of the balls with a strong Mass Bias. For people with higher tracks. I was told to try to keep the RAD at least 2" away from the Track. Under or near the Thumb is OK if you do not track high just use the 2" rule.

I just got mine today and i had it drilled 4 X 4 with the RAD (mass bias) is the strong position and this ball was a hook monster out of box condition. the ball would go through the oil and then head straight left.  of course this was when the ball didn't roll out and not hook at all.

I think i am going to drill mine 4.5 pin to pap, but the in up above my ring a little but have the RAD on my PAL. This will give me midlane read with a strong arc.

Does this sound good?
