Balls and Drill Patterns to use....
« on: March 09, 2004, 08:15:36 PM »
Well what the guys posted about the conditions this year,
what balls, suface and drill patterns would be good to use.

Since we know 10 and out on both sides is out of bounds, the fronts are heavy, and the mid are medium with the backends hooking, i heard the shot is the usual. With the righties playing anywhere from 20 to 10 and the lefties playing 15 to 10 my buddy that went up this past weekend and stopped by and watch, he said the backends are moving BUT it seems you had to be pretty accurate to carry. There is not much room for error.

In the past it seems people have used very strong drill patterns.

1. Rev Leverage seems to be the popular drill since it rolls early and sets up
2. I was thinking since the lanes are hooking, would a 4 x 2 with an x-hole be good since it's smooth on the back.
3. A label drill with the MB under the thumb and the pin and cg in a straight line.

Balls i have in mine:

Fear Factor - #3 drill listed above
XXX - #3 drill
V2 Sanded - #1 drill
V2 Particle - #2 drill

Also thinking of drilling up a deuce or Phenom Unleashed with the # 1 or #3.

Let me know what you guys think.

I have a ball setup to handle this shot after it kicked my rear end last month. I'm going to see what it will do on the 21st.

Phenom.
pin 1: above midline x 3.5 and 4.5MB.

so far this ball was a little strong for a THS.

I will bowl on this type of pattern sunday mourning. it will be a little tracked up and maybe some carrydown but the there is still OOB. I will report back my findings next week and after the tournament.

For Stokers the lanes should be pretty slick. I think the stright players can use high end aggressive balls. I was thinking of drilling a V2 Strong too. Either Label or Rev Leverage. This would help through the heavy and roll in the back. Strighter the better of course on the lanes. Just hard to tell.

The lanes are now 8 years old. On the fresh squads (team and 7 AM doubles/singles) your agressive balls are great to get you reving in the mid-lane but you will have tremendous back end with a strong drill pattern. The shot is really inside 15. Each pair at the Stadium is very unique and as stated above, not AVERAGE bowler friendly.
