Question About Inertia
« on: September 28, 2006, 02:59:19 PM »
Recently I began bowling on a heavier house shot in a new house.  Now, I have a Strike Zone drilled just about label leverage and honestly does not have enough friction on these conditions to turn the corner.  I find that anything pulled inside the 5 board at the break point will just slide, which doesn't leave much room for error considering that if I hit the dry too late I get bad carry at the deck.  So... my ball driller suggested an Inertia to solve this problem.  I am a lefty (main cause of problem b/c the left side is heavier and tighter) with medium speed, revs, and axis of rotation.  Anybody have a recommendation or want to back that decision up?  I would love to hear input on this before I spend money on a new piece that will just overlap my current equipment and still not be enough coverstock to handle the situation.

Depending on the amount of oil, I would back it up. Seeing how you say you are having issues with your Strike Zone, I would say knock the factory polish off the Inertia with the amount of oil you say you are encountering.....

There's no such thing as label leverage with an asymmetric/mass bias/PSA ball.If he gave you "true" label,then he put the MB to the track side of the thumb hole, in which case, unless you're a cranker, he killed the ball for you.

If you can get a dull Strike Zone to make the turn, due to lack of friction, it makes ZERO sense that you'd get the polished Inertia to make the turn, despite the fact that the Inertia is solid particle. It is still highly polished and the SZ is solid, dull (800 grit matte) Activator, a very strong ball, a true oiler.

Something's very wrong here.

I wonder if you have too little friction and the ball is burning  up early, because from the way you describe thigns so far, it sure as heck ain't the ball.
