Got in my first two games with the new Brunswick Strike King Black. Great new piece to have.

Lefty,

I was saying that with all the times you've said that your ball goes sideways off of the friction, that you would probably benefit from a rico drill to help out.

JR that brings up a coversation I had years ago with my bro when I asked him "is a pearl really a pearl ?" When adjusting surface on either pearl or solid the reaction was the same as the other. Plus balls like the mentioned Infernos looked like they should be sold as "pearlized" but were listed as solids.

Then I drilled an n'tense levrg which was listed as pearl but had surface and needed oil because it was a monster ball.

Instead of the Rico layout I would think something that would reduce the flare

If you minimize the flare you increase the potential of length and a quicker response...if you want something less angular, you need to slow the ball down before it gets to the 35-45' range...

There are a lot of bowling balls that look solid but are still pearlized. Dont let looks be the factor.  Go with what is proven.

Activator+ on the slingshot core would be a hell of a ball for that price point.

Make that Activator, not Activator+. Sorry, my mistake.

Kid,

I agree.  The one I am referring to is purple and black.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10lb-Brunswick-Slingshot-Black-Pink-Bowling-Ball-/360664658984?pt=Bowling&hash=item53f949f428

I've actually seen some in the local pro shop that look more like polished solids like the pink black above and another color scheme?

Thoughts?

Regards,

Luckylefty

For whatever it's worth, as far as I know all Slingshots for sale in the USA are pearls. However, some one (who I thought might know) suggested to me a year or so back that the Black/Pink Slingshot used Activator+ coverstock, not the PK 17 used on all the rest. That said, I have no corroboration for this statement. I had intended to try one but never got around to it. Activator+ often acts more like a solid, except when highly polished.

Maybe the person got that ball confused with the Pink/Purple Karma, which uses Activator+.


Again, sorry. It's Activator, NOT Activator+. Yes, it was a color related situation, but it was well before the Pink/Purple Pearl Karma.

I was just wondering  about hardness.

It seems like a lot of the pearls have a higher number on the hardness scale versus the solids.

Many of my solids to me with similar surface preparations seem smoother in their response to friction than similarly prepared pearls.   Could it be the hardness factor also?

Regards,

Luckylefty

Pearls have almost never, as far as I know, been harder, than solids. They are less elastic, which is a different chemical/physical attribute. The elasticity is what relates to the amount of surface in contact with the lane. (As far as I know) The vast majority of balls register in the 74 - 78 scale of the durometer.

Would a rico layout work for a bowler with a bowler with a high rev rate on a dry lane condition?

Impending....

Thanks for the clarification.  I am recently bowling on a "Classic top hat".  The results are much different.

The bowling on the 35 foot cheetah /reverse block has been a valuable learning situation.

I note and agree with Just Rico's mention of slowing down a ball earlier to cut down on quick response in the 35 to 45 foot range.

To note here is a drilling a friend has adopted for our house that has the short sparky shot inside with a reverse block feel to it outside of 10.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGh7nRW73NI  Note Curlie drilling at second 18.

Personally, I see no reason to do that, unless you had a ball you wanted to test.

The reason why most see the Cheetah as a possible reverse block is generally because with it being shorter in length, it cuts down on the perceived hold, one thinks its a reverse block. The shorter the conditio/pattern the more the optimum attack angle is farther towards the gutter or away from the pocket, as well as having the ball slow down properly.
Many perceived reactions are due to either using the wrong ball and/or in the wrong part of the lane at the wrong time.

The 35 foot pattern on my house shot is designed to be that....a house shot.

Supposed buff to 40 feet but the 35 to 40 foot zone from 10 to 10 is Sparky (where is the buff).

After a few balls, balls sent out to 4 5 6 in the 35 to 40 foot zone are wash outs.

Dry continues to exist outside of 10 from 0 to 30 feet.   I play the shot at least in the first game from 10 or 11 at the arrows out to 3 4 at my 25 to 30 foot breakpoint.  With a Sonic X solid.

The ball is making a rapid beeline for the gutter at25- 30 feet unless one catches their revs.  Fortunately most of the time I do and some nice high games have been the result.

Many of our top 230 average guys at other houses use plastic many days.

Just Rico Your recommendation for equipment on a 35 foot shot?

REgards,

Luckylefty
2nd strategy that works some days is bowling to the end of the pattern after the buff fills in and the shot starts to act like 40 feet (usually games 2 and 3) with something like a Tropical Heat solid polished on 2000 played 14(arrows) to 11 breakpoint.  Balls throw outside of ll at the apex (35 to 40)....washout every time.

LL a video would be worth a 1000 post. Have you ever posted one on here so we can better see what is happening?

Good idea.  I've never made one.  Newer cell phone....maybe...
Might be time...
