Drilling a Link?
« on: March 04, 2010, 12:17:38 PM »
Has anyone seen this thrown, I might have landed on one of these, and curious as to how weak it actually is. I've read the BTM article, which puts this on par with the urethane Natural in terms of overall hook, but a bit longer and more on the back.

Is this a super weak cover, where a stronger drilling is suggested to get it started up, or leave it on the weaker side for it to do as intended.

My goal drilling it would be having something I can square up when I get deep enough to encounter over/under with my burn, rather than throwing something stronger from the deeper lines (inside 4th arrow). Also be interested in giving this a throw on shorter patterns, in the 35-38 foot range.

My Raw Hammer Burn is about 40 x 4.5 x 30 with a hole 3/8 below PAP on VAL
Me
PAP 4 5/8 x 15/16 up
15-16degrees tilt
75degrees axis rotation
~350rpm
About 18.5-19.0 mph off the hand prefered

Would you suggest a similar drilling, allowing the cover/core to be the separation factor, or go alittle higher on the val, drill angles, and pin to keep it weak?

Looking to fit it a step and a half under my Burn, and a step and a half above my Plastic.

I think the general consensus is that it's a dry to light oil ball, but it's far from weak.


I think long and strong off the dry would be a good description.

the only way i have seen this ball actually be a weak ball was if you keep the mass bias in or near your track. everyone i have seen drill this pin up and mass bias strong, the ball is too much for what they intended.

i drilled mine label, pin to the right of the fingers and the mass bias near my track, and the ball is so money on short patterns and when they are fried i can get in a keep it online without having to wheel it around the pattern.

it ignores the front part of the lane and is just so good through the pins

this is all my own opinion from what i have seen
