Hi guys,

Got a great offer on Track Rule(I know it's old, but it's a good offer), can i fill it in my arsenal in this way?

Hawg - Heavy oil http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/dev86/Bowling/DSC00055.jpg Dull the ball to 600 grit already.

Track Rule - Med heavier oil (getting this for carrydown and something not so snappy)

Silver Streak Pearl - Med oil http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/dev86/Bowling/ssp2.jpg monster backend, need something more smoothing.

Wired - Med - Light oil http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/dev86/Bowling/wired1.jpg this hook the least, not sure why.

Spare Ball - Dry and Spares. A old white dot.

Please advise me on the drilling as well. Thanks.

I've a idea on how to drill that Rule, possible is pin above finger, MB on the left of thumb.

Cuz currently now most of the house I bowl, either my silver streak pearl is skidding too far, if not my hawg is hooking too much. and with that drilling i believe my ball would have a better mid lane reading and a strong arc at the backend.

Based on how your Hawg and SSP are drilled, the surface prep on each and what you are looking for I think that the Rule would be a very good choice only I would drill it Pin next to ring and MB between strong and VAL a 40-50Â° drilling. I personally feel that with the pin above and MB just left of your thumb it may make the Rule a little more flippy than you are looking for by your description, when considering how strong the backend is by nature.
My Rule is drilled like you describe and it is a bit farther from my Delta than I would like. The Delta and Hawg will handle pretty much the same oil volume from what I have seen, only they roll differently with the Hawg being a bit earlier, so I think it makes for a good comparison.

I would agree with the notion the Rule, with the correct drill and surface prep, would be PERFECT in that spot in your arsenal!

dev,

The Rule would fit nicely between the Hawg and SSP. The Hawg is going to roll much sooner....and the Rule will retain more energy for the backend of the lane.

Goodluck,
Carl

Thanks guys.

Hey dev,

The Rule would fit nicely under the Hawg and above the SSP pearl. We're talking about a stronger resin then the SSP but not as dull or early hooking as the Hawg. I like Storm Track's mass bias placement to the "strong" position to help get down the lane some and then finish. It'll look similar to the SSP but be able to handle more oil thickness. Hopefully my vids are helpful (thanks StormTrack)...

Got the ball drilled today. it's a 3inch pin distance, with 3oz top weight.

didn't got to throw the ball today, because the whole alley is booked for Masters.

this drilling is introduced by the driller as he realize that I didn't had much roll on my ball.

NO OFFENSE but;
The guy that drilled it is evidently not familiar with Track's assymetrical balls.
Moving the pin out towards PAP that far will cause the ball to go longer and with that MB placement is will take forever to migrate.
In my opinion he just ruined the ball or at least didn't drill it to gain any benefit from the strong mass bias, just my opinion though.

If you have little roll whether he was refering to revs or spin/excess tilt this is drilled the opposite of what you would need.
MB placements close to the track give the ball more length, a slow response to dry and they retain tilt longer.
Track's assymetricals retain almost full flare when drilled with the pin at longer distance from PAP (5.5") and they say for the most length you should move the pin closer to PAP than leverage to reduce flare.

Hey dev,

I personally do not like where the mass bias is placed for you. If you have low revs, he should have shifted it out towards val then to help the ball get into a sooner roll and not right of thumb which delays roll. The pin positioning makes sense if he was trying to get you started earlier but it appears that he is not very familiar with mass bias technology. You may still get a decent reaction however because of the ball's natural cover strength. Let us know how it goes.....

That was what I thought when he lay out for me. But the told me that my revs/turning was more than enough, it's only that my roll wasn't great enough. I shall try tomorrow and report on it.

if things don't go well, I guess I'll just shift the mams bias towards my left of my thumb, which end up might overlap my hawg.
