Zr 40 Drilling recomendations
« on: October 19, 2006, 04:07:12 AM »
Hey guys,
I am curious what you would throw on this ball for a guy that likes to play a shot at 16mph, with no CRAZY belly on the ball with ~350 rpm.  I have been struggling with everything jumping on the backs so I sanded a Vapor Zone down and now have a good reacting ball on most shots, telling me what I want is something that still makes a good move on the back, but defined more as a hard arc definately not a snap.  This ball will be my THS ball and will be replacing a storm fired up that is entirely too aggressive on the backs for me.  I threw one of these last year and wanted my own, low and behold the guy that let me throw his ends up coming to me and asking if I wanted a new one.. duh I am going to say yes @ $60 NIB.  So now I am curious how to drill it.  I don't want a weak piece, what I am looking for is something that fits in over my quantum fire (drilled for length and arc, which it does almost to a fault) and something under the sanded Vapor Zone that has a rolly drill on it and generally allows me to play the line I want to on a med- med heavy shot with a little less hand in it than I might prefer, but it gets there.  So I guess what that all means is a benchmark ball with a strong arc on the backs for just about true mediums with my normal line ( I want to throw up the boards or swing NO further than 17-7) and on the lighter side when I back out of the ball.  IE a THS ball.  Help me out guys, I'm trying to refine my line up and I feel like I can make the stuff I have work into a 3 ball plus plastic arsenal if this thing does what I am looking for.

Exactly what I was thinking, thanks for the conformation.  Steve, I will be in touch shortly about the Threshold if all goes as planned.
