Constructive feedback appreciated. I'm trying to make a decision whether I want to sell or re-drill my Radical Guru.
In
Left handIned
Rev = 250
Rotation 55 degrees plus
Tilt.. From memory, 13 degrees. Drawing a blank right now on that for some reason...
I drilled the Guru for Nationals with pin just above ring finger and MB just barely left of the thumb. Horrible matchup, worst I've done in 25 years and easily the worst ball choice I've ever made for Nats. I know they were tough this year, but..... That was not what I expected based on what I've heard about the ball and recommendations I received on Bowlingchat.
I brought the ball home with absolutely no confidence that it would perform better on a summer pattern shot based on what I saw at Nats. It did not let me down. Total spare ball on both a 38 and 45 ft pattern. Then one night, on a short 38 ft pattern, I used it for the first half of game one, then had put it away because it was still going straight. For whatever reason, we had the last game well in hand and I pulled it back out for the last four frames of game four. To my utter surprise, the ball actually made a move about 4 feet in front of the pins. That was the last thing I expected if the ball was burning up early.... Turning at 50 feet on a 38 foot pattern at the end of the night? hmm...
Looking for feedback. Sell it or re-drill it? I don't understand the reaction I'm seeing from this ball... You know I hate asymmetrics, but even so.... That last piece just doesn't fit the puzzle...
Raptor P7 drilled similarly was ok. Not great, but better. AMF Darkness with Mohole and cg swung at 45 (pin up) was the best. Darkness was also at Nats and was better than Guru.
