Author Topic: N-Code layout question? (Read 2588 times)

LaneHammer20 · « **on:** August 31, 2009, 02:49:36 AM »

I have all three balls, the N-code is not layed out at the moment. My Code and Sieways are both layed out with the pin above ring finger 4 3/4 x 4 1/4 CG. I have a balance hole 2 inched down from my PAP on the Code. Have yet to put a balance hole on the Sideways, although i think I should since when i used it the other night, it had way more length than I was expecting.

My question is if I drill my N-code the same as my Code and Sideways, which was my initial plan going into this since I love the core. Will I see enough difference between the 3. I feel the sideways so far is not as strong a my Code, which is quite strong in my opinion, because the Sideways has so much easy length for me (without the balance hole yet) that is seems a step under the Code. I have heard the N-code is much stronger than the Code, and with a dull surface unpolished may be a good step up from the Code,.

i am just looking for some opinions. I have been shooting light s out with my Code since I got it, and just want to build around it.

First off i agree when you say that the Code is very strong. But you will see quite a difference b/w the 2. As where to Code is really aggressive on the back end the N'Code is really smooth and controlled. The N'Code will set up sooner and still be strong through the break point. Now as far as being stronger than a Code overall probably not, but it will set up sooner. Honestly its about the same strength as your sideways, but its going to be more even. Hey you should love the ball it has great hitting power, and really really controllable.

See, all i have heard other than your response is that the N-code is much stronger thorughout the lane compared to the Code. My Code is a great medium oil ball. Was thinking that the N-code will be better suited with heavier volumes, that the Code may not handle as well.

I have both. For me, the Code and the N'Kryption Code are both medium oil balls.

Here's some video I shot throwing both of them. I'm not that great of a bowler, but it should give you some idea of what the differences between the two balls are.

well yes the Ncode will do better on heavier oil due to is does set up earlier but compared on a ths the code will go longer be stronger and cover more boards. The only thing is on a heavier oiled shot the code will go too long and not have time to check up.

hello LH20

if you truly have your code and your sideways drilled the same and are thinking of doing the same to the ncode, this is what you should get..

code f65 cover/symmetrical core (med strong cover/med strong core)

n code f70 cover/asymmetrical core (stronger cover/stronger core)

sideways f75 cover/ symmetrical core (strongest cover out of the 3/med strong core "BUT" a added flip plate)

your code will be your benchmark ball do to the fact it will be the easiest to read.. it will be a true light med/med oil ball..

your n code do to the fact it has a stronger cover and a stronger core(plus it is suppose to have some mica(grit)in the cover) will read the lanes alittle earlier but be more angular of the spot for you.. this is a stronger ball then your code all around..

your sideways is tricky now, it has the strongest cover of the other 2 but has pearl in it.. it will read sooner then the ncode and the reg code but do to the pearl will glide through the heads easier saving some of its energy for the backend(hopefully).. the sideways will seem weaker to you because of how it can get down the lane, but truly is stronger then the ncode/code in the backend.. the added flip plate is supposedly the reason behind it having more pop in the backend/off the spot.. hope this helps..

I and another friend have played with the Code and N-Code a bit.
In general the COde will be a benchmark for medium amd medium+ oil. Unless your release makes it or put and unusual drill on it, the Code will have a relatively controlled backend, which is what makes it such a good benchmark. The N-Code, due to both its cover and it modified Asymmetric core, will be an "upgrade" to the Code. It will handle more oil (medium to medium-heavy) and, if you use the same or similar drilling to the Code, it have much more backend than the code.

The Sideways is a medium-strong pearl meant for medium oil. It should and will have more length than the Code and, of course, much more backend. If the lane allows you to open it up, you'll be able to use the Sideways. If it is wet/dry or you need it, the Code will be a great benchmark.

Because of your high than average revs, you may see greater difference in these balls. I think they should make a great arsenal.

I don't have a Sideways but

Both my N Code and Code are drilled 55x4.5x60 and the N Code is definitely stronger than the Code without any surface adjustments. I also have another N Code with the surface at 800 grit and it's nearly as strong as my Bounty.(But I typically don't use that one)

I don't have a lot of revs, maybe in the lower range of medium and I can surely say the N Code will handle more oil than the Code with ease.

For me the biggest difference is the Code is a little more rolly, a little earlier with a good finish where as the N Code saves more for the backend. It has very good natural length through the heads and picks up very strong quickly coming off the pattern. It loves carrydown and I basically use it on that only because it's a little too strong for the leagues I'm in currently. For me I don't see a reason to own the N Code, Code, and Sideways because the N Cdoe and Code cover a wide arrange of conditions together.

Thanks for the replies fella's. I am going to dso as planned and do a drill that is the same as my Code and Sieways. There isn't much talk about the N-code but when there is there is always very high praise and am glad I found one at a good price.

As far as the Sideways goes, right now for some reason it is getting alot of length and only working on clean backends. I threw it last week at a house that has pretty good amount of oil and a little dirty backends from womens the night before. Mine was not coming up to the pocket at all, I had to play right up the right side and stay slow with my speed to face up properly. Before I made the switch to that ball for third game, I was playing like 24 out to 10 with a Break pearl with a pin under drill. Had a agreat reaction with that. I typically use a Solaris with a very similar drill to the Sideways in pin placement setup. The saideways was at 4000 abarlon as was the Break pearl and the Solaris I normally use. My Sideways was just floating past the break point. I couldn't beleive it was having the throuble it wqas having.

I The pin is about 3/4 inch above ring, and with a like 2 3/4 inch pin the pin sits close to the ring finger a little to the right. I feel I may have some weight issues and a balance hole will help it react better. Not sure at the moment.
