Title: Back to Big B
Post by: twister on April 08, 2008, 06:09:23 AM

Hey everyone, I've decided to come back to the Big B mainly because I would like to start bowling a few regionals and my current company is not PBA registered. I don't want to dis them because of this because their equipment and customer service is top notch and I will thank them for that. I have picked up some toys and was looking for some recommendations on drilling them.

About me, right handed, 400+ rev rate, 16-17 mph. ball speed, I bowl a lot of tournaments and leagues. PAP is 4 7/8" and up 1/8". Similar to BrunsNick with a little less axis rotation and more up the back of the ball. All balls are 15#. This is the way I have them laid out to be drilled as of now:

#1 Fury- 2 inch pin 3.4 top, pin 4 1/2 pin to pap below fingers 60 degree OOB

#2 Blast Zone- 3inch pin 3.8 top, 4 1/2 pip to pap above fingers 60 degree 2000 abralon

#3 Ultra Zone- 2 inch pin 2.8 top, 5 inch pin to pap below fingers 60 degree OOB

#4 Twisted Fury- 4 inch pin 3.4 top, 5 inch pin to pap 45 degree OOB or possibly change to a 5 inch TJ layout

Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.

I think the layouts are fine. I recommend you drill them all with about 3/4 side weight so you can add a hole if you need to. Throw them before you add the hole. You may have no choice on the Twisted at 45 degrees, but that's OK, go small to start.

No rh, I don't have to stay with one company but I do because for me I get too many similar reactions mixing equipment. At least with one brand you know what each ball does and I don't have to visit four different forums.

Corey, I was basically going by the drill sheets. Would the Twisted be better at a 60 or 75 degree drilling rather than the 45?

Go with a 75. Everything else is 60, and you were also considering a flip drill for the Twisted.
