Just reading this month issue of BTM, Mo Pinels article on PSA. New Guy what is spin time to reach PSA on some of your products i.e the Element, Thing and Vendetta. I know it might be slower because of it being sysmetrical cores?

Charlest, I beleive that having a ball rev up quicker at the break can help reduce TAPS (10 PINS) inaddition quicker reving core are know to be more angular this can be essential players for lesser rev rate at release.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't forget surface has to fit to condition at hand.

I gotta question. I ball finds it preferred spin axis quickly, well, then, wouldn't it "roll out" more easily, all other things being equal?

Buuut, that also makes them flare quicker, therefore hook earlier; therefore they can roll out earlier and quicker and thus hit the pocket flat. The operative word is "can", i.e. they have the potential. It's all a huge balancing or juggling act, depending on how you want to look at it.

Ahhhh, SURFACE!
I knew that "ugly" word would enter into the act; of course it had to. Can't separate the core from the cover, in all practicality. So if Mass Bias balls satbilize quicker, because they are flaring so early, then I think it follows that you need less surface on such balls (relative to the bowler's revs, speed and the amount of oil, + 40 other factors), so that they will conserve their energy and not roll out too early.

Too much technology and not enough actual bowling ....

If you take a look at the the onslaught the determinator spin time was 6.7 seconds. I don't know about you but my ball will never reach its PSA. With my ball speed at release is around 19-20mph. At the breakpoint its around 16.7-17.4mph. At that speed the ball is on the lane less then 2 seconds. With that being said how would a Asymetrical core reach its PSA.

At 415rpm is a typical house bowlers rev rate at the break point. An asymetrical core will rev up as it travels down the lane. A good example is the Track bowling website. If you download the phenom video you can actually see the ball rev at the breakpoint.
