Initial impressions-redrill of Pro Tactics
« on: September 27, 2009, 01:27:14 AM »
drilled stacked, pin over bridge with everything in a line. OOB Surface.

Cheetah with massive carry down, I thought the Pro would be a great choice, with the carry down but it really wasnt, granted I wasnt throwing the ball my best but I had no room to miss had to be spot on. Played almost straight at the thrid arrow the last two games, and jack for reaction very little POP off the break.  Not sure if it was that their wasnt quite enough juice or what but just didnt like what I seen.


Super Bowl: THS, Brunswick Anvalines, about 10 years old. fresh oil. went down to experiment last night after the disaster on that afternoon. and still wasnt very impressed. played 15 out to 10 and it barly got back had more length than the previous drill (35x4 1/2x35) but still didnt create a comfy area to place the ball in. Very flat in the pocket lefts lots of ten pins.

I am not sure if this is a product of the stength of the ball or my lack of skill lol. I would like to try it on something with more, oil heavier volume to see if it will be better in that situation but overall it reminds me of my LevRG and my LevRG is at the bottom of a local river.

My Pro Tactics drilled pi over ring 5 x 4 1/4 is a strong ball, it never really loses much energy, but needs alot of oil for a pearl, and has a very heavy roll. I for one like mine for its control and great read you get out of it. It is the strongest pearl I have rolled to date.

You might not have enough oil, or maybe went to weak a drill.

BTW, if this is not a pearl particle then I am crazy, it rolls like one and if you feel it wih your habd on a spinner it feels like it has gritty texture unlike anything I have felt.

Great ball though.

Gary,

You have a couple of options.

For the ball try sanding it down to 500-1000 then polishing it up.

For yourself try and soften up your speed and stop trying to jack on every shot.

This will improve your consistency and should help you read your ball motion easier.

Thanks Bass I will try that, I have been working on the speed thing for a few weeks I have a habit of pulling when I slow down trying to fix, as far as trying to jack on it when I slow my ball down I usually hit it less so that should drop also.

Thanks for the suggestions again. I may not look like it but I do listen to what you say.
