Wild Ride Drilling Info
« on: January 28, 2010, 06:11:19 AM »
For a down and in player with speed of 17-18 about 350 revs and a 45 degree normal axis rotation, what would be a good drill for this ball? From what I have been reading the Wild Ride needs a stronger drilling due to the torsion core. Any suggestions would be quite helpful.

Thanks

It all depends on the reaction desired by the bowler in question.  Depending on the reaction that is desired you will want to use a drill pattern that is a half inch or more closer to the PAP than normal, and possibly a P3 or P4 hole when drilling this ball compared to balls with more differential.

Thanks for the responses. The drilling and coverstock prep should allow the ball to get down the lane with a strong arc to the pocket, not a skid/flip reaction. I assume a pin down drilling would be a good choice.
