attitude shift
« on: January 06, 2008, 04:04:39 PM »
just wondering if anyone knew why ryan shaffer wasn,t throwing the attitude, if there was as much oil as it looked like. The attitude is supposed to be their most aggressive ball.

Why throw a higher RG core when there's not much backend and a high volume of oil?  You need the ball to roll up sooner to generate angle to the pocket, hence the T-Road Solid or the Special Agent.  "Aggressive" is not always the best solution on longer oil patterns.

He needed a Passion on that beast of a pattern.

Apparently he didn't considering he made the TV show using a Special Agent and a T-Road Solid, and then had a good look at the pocket when he didn't pitch it out right a mile.
