CT, too angular
« on: October 13, 2005, 07:20:19 AM »
I use my Crunch Time when my Inferno is just hooking too much. With a new laneman, our shot is very wet/dry. The CT moves as much as the Inferno but it is all in the backend.

What would my best option be to increase the arc in the midlane? I am thinking a light sanding. Any suggestions?

I think there are 2 basic choices, WITHOUT re-drilling it.
1. A light, I mean LIGHT, sanding; maybe just a "scuffing".
2. A weight hole on or just past your PAP, or about 2"+ below the PAP, if the current side/top/thumb/finger weight allows this. This will make it flare earlier and slightly more than it does now. Just how much this will increase the midlane read is up for grabs.

Either choice would work. When I have someone who just wants to knock the shine off, I use a used grey scotchbrite.

Hey tt,

The first choice would be to litely scuff it as recommended.  This will help even out the reaction some.  If it's still a little strong then I'd remove some positive static or drill thru the fingers a little deeper to shorten the core as well as remove finger weight if allowable.

I would try to play deeper on the lane.
