Thing Lives Core
« on: December 09, 2004, 06:57:28 AM »
Is the Thing Lives an asymmetrical core?  It looks that way from the picture, but I can't find any mention of a mass bias anywhere.  Thanks.

When I asked the question about what determines whether a ball is assymetrical, it was explained that as long as the ball is symetrical through the Vertical Axis, then it's symetrical, which this ball is.  

And last I heard, Phil still didn't think there was a benefit in going assymetrical, so I wouldn't expect that anytime soon.

Okay, thanks.  Asymmetrics are great if you're going to drill a ball for a particular pattern, but if you're travelling around bowling in a lot of places, the, "fine tuning," a mass bias will result in might just be plain wrong.
