Need ball and lay out suggestions please
« on: January 06, 2006, 12:33:28 AM »
I am looking at getting a new ball for a particular center that i bowl at. The oil is kinda light and short. getting to the pocket isnt a problem but haveing to play so deep in doing so my carry really struggles. The people who are score the best at present and for the past few months are tweeners and fluffers playing anywhere right of 15. So I am looking at getting something I can square up with and move right, I would prefer something long and smooth off the dry. my scout reactive is long enough down lane but it is very flippy at the break and I dont really care for this type of reaction playing to the right. So i am open to some suggestions. I have a hot rod hybrid nib and a super sport pearle nib would either of these work with the proper drilling? Lmk thanks.

Well nothing says smooth like a Scout Hi-Flare Urethane...  The HRH and SSP could very well fit the bill, but would likely react similarly to your Scout unless you placed their pins close to your PAP which would limit recovery from pushing the ball to far right.

yea i really dont have a whole lot of exsperiance with my own equipment drilled weak, most of my stuff is layed out for recovery and playing deep inside. I really dont wanna play a big swing just a small 4-5 bored swing is plenty for what i wanna do.

This is what I have tried so far with limited success. ego drilled 12'oclock pin high and above and between fingers 5-1/2x5-1/2 almost what i need but it rolls a little to early but is smooth in transition but strong still, I polished it and it became to flippy, freak out 5-1/2x3 long and to strong on the back. exception 4x5-1/2 just to strong all the way around even with polish. scout 4x5-1/2 long and to strong on the back. vertigo 5-1/2x4 pin below fingers haha dont ask this is the ball i shot 800 with at the other house with a bit more oil although tubed and floating backends it works well there but just to early at the short oil center. Ok I have alot of balls laying around and can probably try a few test drills on, from what i remember they are inferno 4" pin,silver streak particle 4-5" pin, viscous reactive pearl 3" pin, vendetta particle pearl 2-3"pin, TPc shooter 3-4"pin, storm recharge 3-4"pin, Stinger 2 piece 3" pin, beast pearl mica pin in, triton elite 5"pin and my gold rhino cracked so i cant use it.

I have the ball I mentioned.  It's drilled with the pin above the bridge and the CG kicked out with a hole at about 6" out from the grip center through the CG.  Still ends up with about 3/4 oz. positive side weight.  Even with the pin above it has tight flare rings that span about an inch and a half in the oil.

Played with it Tuesday on lanes where the pattern had been pushed down the lanes by a ladies league.  The carrydown didn't allow the ball to visibly hook, but it still flared and would recover from outside slightly.  This ball doesn't deflect for me like a no flare urethane houseball would.

Last night in league I had to move left with my reactive stuff only to find that there was no shot for me inside where I had been playing.  Moved back to the right and grabbed this ball and could throw it down 10 or walk it out to 10 from between 2nd and 3rd arrow and carry pretty well.
