Suggestions for T Road Solid
« on: August 24, 2007, 12:25:36 AM »
Recently drilled up T solid.

     O O
..                P
   
      CG
     
      0


I'm a tweener with a high track ( within a inch of thumb) 325 Rev Rate 17MPH (CATS)
The ball just doesnt do anything. Goes down the lane but never makes a turn or arc, or anything. Also clips thumb hole frequently. You can hear it down lane. My question is this if I add a weight hole on my PAP will that stabilize the ball earlier in the lane and hopefully get the ball to do something. Will it also pull the track away from the thumb so I won't get the clipping. Maybe put one above the PAP on the VAL. Would changing the surface to something higher then the 1000 box be better? Any help would be greatly appreciated , I'm dying here.

This ball is very strong, if it is not doing anything it might not have enough head oil and be burning up, this will cause it to do nothing as you state.  I would ask you bowling alley what shot they put out.

polishing this ball or taking it to 4000 grit would help it to stop burning up and get the ball down the lane a little bit

Are you clipping the thumb or flaring over a finger hole?  I would guess that you're flarring over the finger hole based on your down-lane description.  For this you could put a weight hole down in your thumb quadrant...this will raise the oil bowtie on the ball so it clears the hole.  Take a closer look at the oil rings on your ball...

Definately clipping the thumb
