What success has everyone had with this ball??? Im looking at drilling one of these pin down for heavy oil...

We have the same pap. At 5 1/2 pin to pap, I wasn't getting a lot of flare out of the ball and it went a touch too long. At 4 1/2 pin to pap, I'm getting 4 - 5" of flare with great continuation to the pocket.

LOL.. that could be a problem.... at least if I'm hoping to use it on lots of oil. I should know a little more tonight after I give it a try. The reson I chose the "mild" layout was that a few weeks ago I drilled one up for a friend (who throws the ball similar to me) with a 4.5" pin to PAP. Prior to getting this ball, he was struggling to get reaction on his house shot. After getting this ball, he claims that there isn't enough oil in his house shot to throw it. LOL.

i haven't thrown mine on a fresh shot yet. i've got about 20 games on it. all of them on a fill shot with whatever's leftover from the night before. no cleaning of the lane or backends. with a 2,000 grit abralon finish it's too much ball to play a down and in shot outside of 6-7. there's too much plastic ball carrydown left of that to play the shot straight down 8-9-10, etc. my best look thus far is a little swing shot, say 11 to 6. great backend reaction. i'd really like to try it on a fresh shot. i'm also going to try it with different grits and polishes.

It is an all around strong ball. It will eat up a fresh house shot, and can handle some longer sport shot patterns. . .
Very aggressive ball, perfect for a ball for conditions ranging from Medium to Heavy Oil.

I was impressed watching a good bowler from this website throw last night.

Rough buffed over a burgundy pad. This thing is smooth and yet a very readable strong move in the back. On a nice league puddle this thing was able to create a ton of area and strong hit.

It impressed the hell out of me.

Was up against a Red Zone which also impressed me but not on this volume of oil.

Thanks for all the great post guys. I might be picking up one of these bad boys through a trade for some of my old stuff that i dont use any more. Thinking of drilling it pretty long since i just put a 7 3/16 pattern on my shift and still was a little early on my house shot. Has anyone tried around a 6 inch pin distance or more? Polish?

Here's some drill info from Robert Lawrence that he posted on pba.com that may be of some help:

Although Scarter mentioned drilling one in Vegas 2 X 2, we don't recommend drilling these with anything less that 4 1/2" pin to PAP. Actually, I would stick with 5 to 5 1/2" pin to PAP. For heavier oil, and if your track is not too close to the holes to begin with, keep the pin below the finger area. For more length keep the pin up above them. Also, if you want the ball with less surface, we had better results using just abralon pads up to 4000 rather than using any type of polish. I took one of my Fury's to 4000 and you would swear I polished it. It is plenty long and plenty strong downlane.

By the way, for best adaptability after drilling, kick the CG out at least 1" so you will have the ability to add an extra hole after having the chance to throw the ball and see what it does. Do this in practice so that you're not throwing an illegal ball during competition. Then you can add a hole in a position that will fine tune the ball to what you were hoping to see more or less of. Between the extra hole and surface preperation, you should be able to make this ball exactly what you need. And it hits like a ......... TANK, as a few have mentioned.

I threw my Fury in league last night.. and I have to say that I was impressed! With a 5.5" pin to PAP 4" above my midline and the surface at 2000 grit abralon, the ball got down the lane really (surprisingly) easy. However, the ball definitely needs oil to hit and carry. I arrived late and only had a chance to throw a couple warm-ups. First shot of the night, I hit 12 at the arrows, out to about 5-6 at 40' and watched the ball come back, but die out just at the pins. Left a 7-8..LOL. Can't say I had ever seen one before.. obviously the ball just burn up. On the next shot, I move in 3 boards deeper and threw to the same BP. The Fury hit the pocket much harder, but stoned a 10 pin... On the third shot, I moved two more in with my feet and 2 in with my BP (now shooting for 7-8 at 40') and strung the next six before I wrapped another 10. With another small parallel move in, I punched out that game and started with the front 4 the second game. Again, not keeping up with transition, I left a wrapped 10, followed by a stone 8. Bumped 5 more inside and punched the rest of that game until 10th were I made a ball change to a milder ball to finish and throw for the 3rd game. Not big on posting "numbers", but shot 255 and 257 the first two games with the ball.

Edit:
The ball was leagal w/out a weight hole.. so I figured I would throw it first before deciding on one. Currently I got about 2" of flare in the oil, really tightly spaces rings and then could see marks from the dry of about another 2" or so... It rolled quite well here, but I wanted it for longer and higher volumes, so I may pop a hole in it sometime down the road.

I believe the strong rolling one I saw last night was pin up over bridge and cg just slighlty kicked no weighthole.

Probably about 5 1/2 X 5.

Strong and continuous. No problem carrying inside and in the puddle.

I have mine pin under ring 1/2" slightly to right, stroker with low revs. Play on wood lanes. It was rolling and burning up by the arrows, so polished it, it was still rolling to early, but better. Took it in Tuesday going 2000 and polish.

I think a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 OOB will be the stuff, however if you want more get around 4- 4 1/2 and plan on shining it up

HAMMERDOWN103 · « **Reply #26 on:** March 29, 2007, 03:55:01 PM »

Still looking at getting one but im thinking of trying around 6-7 pin to pap. As previously posted i have a shift at 7 3/16 and it still was strong and not at all uncontrollable... Thanks for all the great tips, really narrowing down how to drill one of these and what im drilling it for... Thanks

Are you sure? Anything past 6 3/4 should actually reverse flare (go towards your thumb and away from your fingers).. depending on your track (and rev rate), you could quite possibly roll over your thumb.

Nope, never touched the thumb and had great reaction. I had a pretty good track and i have a ton of revs. My pro-shop guy was skepticle about it but it worked perfect for me. I guess i just kind of defy some of the rules of ball drilling lol

Cool, do you happen to know the layout of the lanes that you bowled on? Do you know what your pin to pap distance was? Thanks

Not sure what the condition of the lanes where. Pic of my layout is in my profile
