Advice on ball reaction
« on: June 23, 2017, 09:25:26 PM »
I have a 900 Global Inception Redux that I'm considering a layout of 30* x 5 x 50*. My PAP is 5 1/2" x 1" up. This puts the pin right above the ring finger almost in the ring finger. The CG 2 7/8" from the PAP and it puts the Mass Bias about 1/2" right of the VAL for a right hander. The reaction I'm looking for is something that will rev up early in heavy oil (sport conditions) be continuous and have a strong arc on the back.

I know MB close or on the VAL will create hook stop kind of reaction what can I expect from this layout.

Thanks, Pete

From what I've seen of this ball, putting the MB at 30 degrees is going to make it puke. It WILL rev early, but be DOA. I wouldn't go any less than 45 degrees, and let surface dictate how much oil it handles.

All the reviews say that the ball goes further than the Inception and hooks later down lane. I want it to hook more in the mid-lane and continue. So for a higher volumes of oil (sport patterns) will this drilling do that. I want to take the coverstock out of the equation I'm specifically asking about the characteristics of the layout only. Layout should rev up early and volume of oil should cause ball to retain the energy enough until it hits the pocket without burning up.

Maybe it's me, but I think ID answered your question. Your assessment on the layout idea makes sense, but I doubt you should go as low as 30 degrees on the drilling angle. Going that far low will make the ball lack continuation as the layout makes the core rev up so fast it won't have any energy left. As aforementioned, going with 45x5x50 would fit the description you wanted without being overkill.

Of course they're going to say that. I'm not a staffer, just someone who is well versed in 900 Global ball reaction. I hope it works out for you.

I look at a variety of reviews not just from staffers and most all say that because of the core alteration and hybrid cover that this ball goes further down the lane before it makes it's transition. So my thinking is shorter drill angle will be offset by the longer pin distance along with Val angle of 50* will bleed off the break point over the whole lane. The volume of oil and surface adjustment if needed will offset the ball burning up early. Just to clarify I'm not a high rev guy (power stroker 325-350 rpm) and this ball will be condition specific ( long sport patterns).
