The Look: how to drill
« on: April 27, 2013, 02:22:55 PM »
Have bought the Look and plan to use it for longer patterns/carrydown.

My go to ball is a Storm Victory Road "solid" with pin in the middle finger and CG in the center of grip. It's good for about a game and a half then it would not turn the corner and I'd be forced to play more direct( like with the Shark pattern?)and with less room for errors( which I often make, lol!).

I am "hoping" to drill the Look so I can switch to it and stay on the "same line" which is my comfort zone.

Please advise on how to drill and let me know if the ball is a bad choice. I'll get it drilled for other use. Thanks!

 I wish I liked mine.  I just had to hit it with a 'T' pad with the track and polished it as it hit like a turd before.  It gave it a little better reaction but still doesn't seem to hit well.  I can try and post a picture.  I'm getting ready to get rid of all my 900 Global and AMF 300 equipment.  I'm not matching up to the newer stuff since the Break Out and Bank.  The Shred-It for me has been the best with the Break Out a close second.

OK, this ball gets no love. But could someone tell me the general charactor  of it? Even arching? Nice back end? Skip snap? Thanks!

I haven't had anything bad to say about my Look. I was quite pleased with the results I've had with it on the various sport shots I've played on with it (Paris, Montreal, USBC Natl's 2013). Basically the type of reaction I see with it is a mid-lane read and a strong, continuous backend. I would best describe the ball shape as a strong arc. I also haven't seen any problems with hit or carry with the Look as well. It's definitely my strongest ball in my arsenal and only comes out when there is a sport shot or heavier oil. I used a layout similar to my old S-75 (50*x5"x40*). I would say use any of your favorite layouts on this one.

Thank you very much! Now I have a better idea. I'm going to place the pin about an inch closer to my PAP but keep the angles the same as my Victory Road Solid.
