315 layouts
« on: February 22, 2005, 05:50:45 AM »
So, what's the deal with this layout?  I have only one ball with a 315, and it sort of confuses me.  It's a Roto Major Assault.  I don't have the specs (RG, etc) anymore and can't find them, but as I recall all of the Assaults were very aggressive, yes?  What I'm seeing when I use this ball is a ball that is excellent for taming those big humongous back-ends that I seem to be running into these days.  Less overall hook than my Silver or Uranium Pearl Buzzsaws, lots of control, good hit.  I was not under the impression that the 315 alters the innate characteristics of a ball much, but in this case it really seems to.  I used it this last weekend on the typical puddle in the middle, dry outside, flying back ends and could play 24 with my feet out to 8 at the arrows easily.  None of my other Assaults would come anywhere close to covering this few boards.

Of course I do have this puppy at about 1500 gloss, but I'd still think it would cover more boards than it does.

I punched up a primal instinct a little while ago with this layout.  The ball was very weak, even though the pin to PAP was 3 3/8".  I my case, I think it was just a crappy ball though.  This layout is good for a hook/set reaction...  tames down the backends considerably....  As per a discussion on here previously, it must be done with a strong mass bias ball (no symmetricals) to get the true reaction.  I think this is a great layout for the true crankers... for the rest of us its pretty condition specific.
