Immortal Solid question...
« on: November 30, 2008, 02:08:02 PM »
Has anyone had any success with this ball on synthetics? No matter what i set the coverstock to this ball just wants to slide all the way down the lane.

Its very confusing on why it does that....

Do you happen to have pics of the two immortals?? I'm going to try moving more inside with the ball and see how that works. Maybe its just burning out for me and I need to get more into the oil with it and thats what my problem is.

Thanks

present drill looks like a pretty strong layout..

I bet its rolling out, with the low pin, guessing a shorter distance, and the Mb way over. I didnt like the solid, but have found a great ball in the pearl @ 4000 abr. Like Charlest said these things flare HUGE. My pearl comes to the VAL.

I thought that too.. but that would mean the ball is rolling end over end right?? mine was still rotating sideways.. just never moved.

JMO..but both your balls are pin down meaning early roll and ball with that amount of flare can not cover a large amount of boards across the lane without burning out.   You can play a tighter line with a lot of speed but I just think both these balls are drilled too strong for the conditions you're bowling on.

IMO....the IS is a condition specific ball as will be the New Breed Solid.  Most of us just don't see that amount of oil.   See Stephen's reviews on the NBS.

I just think that is why most of us will be using balls like the New Breed Pearl like many used the Immortal Pearl rather than the Solid.  

For more info. see what I did last week in the Good Scores topic on this forum.  I played a tight line with a weaker drilled IS and scored well.

scotts33,
The house that I shot the Vid in is known to be on the dry side and the cover was at grey pad and no polish the house that I'm at now has more oil and I've tried different colored pads with polish and no polish and could not find a happy medium with the cover.

If I was too drill another IS for my stats.  I'd drill it pin over ring about 4.75" pin to PAP and CG stacked straight down about a 90 deg. layout.  For me it would get some decent length with enough recovery but no early roll or burn.  Why I'd lay out this way would be for some strength left too long a pin to PAP would not give enough recovery for a tweener or fluffer. Pin down would read too early for most lane conditions and most players.  

Like I said the IS is condition specific....I believe too many people are using the IS laid out wrong for the wrong condition but that's just me.

scotts33,
What condition would you use it on? I'm a high rev player on wood this ball is money but on synthetics this ball is anything but money.

Synthetic with what lane condition on them?  What type of synthetic?  How old?  What do you score with when the IS won't work?  Trajectory? Your stats?

scotts33,
I would say a THS but I can find out for sure on wednesday not sure what type or how old the synthetics are. I would stand with my left big toe on 26 looking 15 at the arrows to around 7 at the break point. I do pretty well with my Blue Nanodesu (I think its particle pearl) or my Pearl Blue Carbide Buzzsaw.
