AU and Rule
« on: August 13, 2004, 03:01:20 AM »
Ok.. Hopefully I haven't made a mistake here. I decided on my new equipment that I would order a Rule and an Animal Untamed. My plans are to polish one of the two of them up and leave the other in a box condition. What drills and finish would be best? I want one for mid-heavy oil and the other for strictly medium oil.

Rick, actually I was talking about this post:

 
quote:
I'd definitely keep the Rule strong, I have mine at 4.25x4(mb strong) and it just won't quit. I'd probably say drill the Untamed at a 5x4(mb strong pos) and polish it to give it some additional length like the other guys have recommended as well. With the polish and mb strong on the Untamed, that should make it fit nicely into the med/med to med/lite oil ball. Hope this helps...if you need anything else, feel free to pm me...or Ex(makes him feel wanted)...lol
 


It seems here that you use the CG in the weighting of the ball which doesn't seem to make much sense to me in a mass bias ball. Also, I have a pretty low track, so getting that type of pin to PAP distance tends to place the CG in negative territory. I'll fiddle around with it when I take a look at the ball though. Fortunately I was able to find someone local who I think that I can trust with new stuff. We will soon see.

Aristotle, I am not sure because I cannot speak for him, but in the past when Rick and I have spoken of the asymmetrical drillings with eachother he has always spoken 4 x 3 (or whatever) as 4 inch pin from PAP and 3 inch MB from PAP.

SO I am sure that is what he was talking about. He will chime in again soon.

Okay, let's try this again...

Sorry again Aris, Ex knows me very well and I am referring to the mb on the second measurement.  I also apologize about my figures, I was using mine as an example and then went off that as well for a different look on the Untamed.

If your track is lower(I won't know numbers), the look I'm basically trying to relate for the Rule is to place the pin next to or under ring area and (yes)keep the mb in a stronger position as it was strong arc/snap that you desired originally, not early or late roll.  Then take the Untamed and place the pin out over the ring area and keep the mb in the same strong position but polish this ball as well.  This should give it better length with the longer pin and and the mb placement should obtain the backend that you're looking for.

It's difficult to say how far above midline the pins should be placed without knowing your span.  That's another way of describing where the pin can go.  Hope this explains things but if I blew it again, pls just let me know...

Thanks Ex..exactly why I wanted you on board with me..help cover for me when my brain's on vacation

ok. I will end up pretty close to that, then. What I ended up doing was putting the pin under the ring finger and the MB about 2" to the right of the thumb. Basically it weighed out with 3.5 oz side which we'll be having me toss the ball to get a PAP from and drill from there. Unfortunately, I just had surgery yesterday which will keep me from bowling for about a week or so.. Not to mention the fact that we're playing around a little bit with pitches and spans. I'm looking to take some of the pressure off of my wrist, so I shrunk the span slightly, and have gone with a totally new pitch. Seeing as I haven't picked up a ball all summer, I should be ok with the changes until I try one of my older balls. haha! Oh.. And before I forget, this was on the AU. I haven't gotten the Rule in yet. Apparently, the person calling in the order thought that she was already ordering 2 balls with the AU, and didn't bother to order the Rule. Since I can't really bowl for another week or so, it's not a big deal anyway, but she was nice enough to gimmie a free soda for it!
