Mean Machine
« on: August 09, 2006, 10:29:37 AM »
hey everyone i'll be getting my Meanie tommorow, and it's already drilled, but i had a quick question...

What would a 4x2 layout do in reaction wise? With an Extra hole on PAP drilled about 3 inches deep?

My PAP is 5 OVER and 1/4 UP, what would this layout do for a Meanie?

Brian,

Honestly, the reaction you are seeing could probably be solved with the coverstock adjustment.

HOWEVER....I think that the layout Rick initially suggested would be perfect. Pin under as opposed to above generally arcs more for most bowlers.

thanks Carl, i told ASB-Joe that i'll try the Mean at 1000,2000,and 4000 grits and see the reaction i get, but im going on a vacation now and won't be able to try it for another week or so. i will update on how my progress is with it, because believe me this ball does NOT arc, it has a sick backend flip on it..

Brian,

I wouldn't go above 1500 OOB finish...that will cause it to flip even harder.

Start with 1000...and if that doesn't work, I would try 800.

ok Carl, thanks for that heads up. Joe told me to try 1000, 2000, and 4000 grits, but i'll try your idea for 1000 and 800 grit..

BTW, what is the Mean's OOB finish grit?
