The Composite Flow Technology Core (CFT)
« on: June 18, 2013, 03:28:34 PM »
I tip my cap yet again to 900 Global for this new technology ( CFT )  :)  If you've ever drilled up a ball then you'll know what IM talking about 8) They have now taken the guessing game out of the drilling process in how the #'s change when you drill a ball.  this will make it much easier now with out changing the CG Diff or MB #'s. 900 GLOBAL continues to be doing there home work and all the extra credits possible to make there line the best it can be.. thanks 900Global.

If you want it, go after it and make it happen.  If you don't, you have no one to blame but yourself....or maybe your just not throwing the right equipment  :)

I want to see if the marketing is actually true. If it is, it is pretty awesome.

I would like to see this core with a S-80 something cover.  we might have something in the makings here  ;D  I get 1st dibs on it if there is.. LOL

At least it looks like it's not just a interesting shape/object they stumbled upon that has properties that have no correlation to rotational physics once placed in a solid sphere, much less how those properties are affected by holes...

Hey guys!  More info to come soon on the website!  An article and illustration will explain the whole concept. I'll post a link when it's up.  I think Dale should be done with upload tomorrow.

Thanks Nick. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been racking my brain over how this is possible.

Simple. Nick dabbles on the dark arts.

Here is what they had to say about the ( CFT )  Utilizing Fluid-Flow Design Tactics and Composite Material Flow Principles of Chemical Engineering, we’ve created something truly unique; the first dynamic core to feature Mass Property Stabilization. But what does this mean for you?  After drilling, the asymmetric Composite Flow Technology Core (CFT) maintains its designed Rg and Differential values, allowing bowlers to get exactly what they want and expect out of their ball.
 
When evaluating bowling balls for your bag, you may often look at the Rg (Radius of Gyration) and Differential number associated with a particular core.  Understanding these values helps you relate the expected strength of the core and type of ball motion to your specific style. Unfortunately, what you don’t see is how these numbers change after actually drilling the ball.  Based on the ball layout chosen, certain areas of the inner core are removed during drilling, altering the core dynamics away from their designed values.
 
The CFT Core was designed specifically to maintain the differentials that fluctuate in other designs due to drilling. With the CFT Core, the Rg and Differential numbers advertised are the core numbers you’ll get when you throw the ball.  That means NO MORE GUESS WORK!


 if your not excited about this yet, this might seal the deal  :)

We heard lots of similar marketing about the Bank's "self righting core", but it was just another ball.  Probably not one of their most popular either.  Knowing what you'll get after drilling is great in theory, but it might just hurt the experienced drillers who already knew how to lay out a ball properly for their different bowlers.

One of my concerns was if drilling holes in the ball doesn't change the diff then how would I be able to add a weight hole to tune a reaction for a customer. Does this mean that a weight hole drilled in either P1 or P4 will still react the same?

Is this going the same direction that the No Mercy did in some circles? Be sure your shop operator reads the directions first... :P

The P1 - P4 holes have more or less effect depending on how much core is removed.  If the core is shaped so that you will only be drilling out cover and filler with the "P" holes, then no they will make a much smaller difference.

Are cores typically poured with high Reynold number flow?  Under laminar conditions would this issue to be adverted...that is unless the viscosity of the outer material was very high...   Any different from pouring plug material into a thumb hole containing a "shop candy" from the ice cube tray?  Tap a few times with the rubber mallet to release the bubbles...no?
