Title: Velocity questions
Post by: jjweb on October 07, 2004, 07:17:38 PM
I'm thinking about maybe getting a Velocity, but I do have a few questions about it:

Is it a polished solid particle or a pearl particle?

What about AMF coverstock durability?

I'm assuming it's angular, which is what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the help!

jjweb...  this ball is a new coverstock, a combination of both particle & pearl, but it's not. Kinda weird to describe it. This ball is super clean through the heads, and it is angular in the backends, but I feel that you might want to drill a weight hole to even out the reaction or you will have over/under all day long. Drilling a weight hole will make the ball roll better in the backends (still strong & angular, but controllable) which excels in tourney/sport shots. I have used this ball often the past few weeks, and very impressed with it. Go ahead and get one.. you won't be disappointed at all.

Why is it so over/under without a weighthole?

not trying to hijack this thread or anything, I just had a short question though.  Is it possible that this ball is more angular on the backend than the X-Factor Ace?

Anything angular or snappy will tend to over/under.

jjweb, to answer your question.  A weight hole (directly across from your center of span) takes out side weight and side weight is a big contributor to the flippiness of a ball.

Usually to tame the reaction a bit, you place the weighthole on your PAP.  You can move the hole up or down the VAL a bit depending on whether your CG is above or below the midline.
