Super Charge
« on: December 29, 2004, 01:22:07 AM »
Hey everyone,

I just received a Super Charge in a transaction on this site and I'm not sure how to drill it. I've only seen a guy throw this ball, but he throws the ball much slower than I do. I guess I'm looking for a drilling that will give me an early midlane read and a soft, smooth arc into the deck on medium-heavy to heavier conditions. Here's my current arsenal:

Flood: Track Animal (with surface)
Heavy: Thing Lives (Polished)
Med-Heavy: X Factor Ace
Medium: X Factor Pro
Med-Light: Reaper 2
Light: Sonic X Pearl
Spares: Target Zone

 Polished, the Thing Lives works well on heavier mediums with clean backends, but I'd like to get something that rolls a touch earlier and is more tame on the back. Because I really don't "need" this Super Charge, I'm willing to experiment with unfamiliar layouts. Any suggestions as to drilling and coverstock prep of this ball would be helpful. Let me know if you need any other info about me. In general, I would say that I track higher than average (1-2" from fingers), with above average speed and above average revs.

I can't bowl 300, but I can bench 310 : )

I threw Ron Clifton's at a tournament.  Early revving, but not super early rolling resin.  It would probably make a nice control ball for between your Ace and polished Thing Lives.  It wasn't drilled for me, but was close to a 4x4 for my PAP.  I only threw it on a long, pretty flat pattern, and for only 5 games, so I hesitate to recommend a drilling for you.
