Anyone use the Hi-Flare Urethane?
« on: August 12, 2006, 11:16:40 AM »
I just picked one up NIB from bowlingball.com for like $45 it should arrive Tuesday. I'm thinking this will be a good choice for dry lanes with really flying backends. Anyone use one of these? What drillings did you find success with? This ball wasn't out for very long, so I'm not sure how well it was received. But hell, for $45 shipped, how can I go wrong?

Had one given to me for free.  It was already drilled, but the fit was very close.  It's my dirt and spare ball.  I have the surface at 400 right now because I went to resurface it and put it the polisher and the polisher was out of compound I guess.

Pin is above bridge and the CG was swung out enough for to require a balance hole.

This ball still flares a moderate amount for something with the pin above the bridge.  It also gets the pins airborn.  That may or may not be a good thing, but when I'm using as a strike ball on ugly conditions I carry some wicked garbage with it.

Drilling this ball with the pin in a leverage position would really be interesting I think.
