Hit them light and watch them fight

Hi there,

I think you'll see what I'm talking about in the Angular One videos.

First, look at the balls showing the Angular One going through the pins.  These shots were all thrown very well, and you'll see that there is 5-6 boards between the ball and the gutter at the breakpoint.

Also, in the overhead shots of ball #2 (near the end of the video), two of the four clips have the ball "nudging" out to the 4th-5th board breakpoint, and you can tell that the balls are quite a bit weaker and come in very light (although they do strike).  At our center, your breakpoint needs to be around the 5th-7th board downlane because we have so much friction in the lane surface and the pattern.  But I think you'll see how the ball really lays off in the shots missed just a pinch to the right.

With the RXS300, I was using a slightly softer speed with my highest axis rotation release.  The ball really skids a little too much for our "fresh" lane condition.  This may have caused you to see slightly more movement than you expected with my comments.

I think my boys from "inthezoneproshop" will back me up.  When we hit the fourth board at Royal Crest Lanes, it's usually 3 off the right.  I did it several times yesterday in practice.

Your point is noted though.  Next time in the SmashTime Pearl video, I'll be sure to get a few into the out of bounds to not only show it, but to show how the ball handles that spot.

Thanks for your input!

Your angular one with the pin really high above the fingers really has some awesome pin action.  I can actually see a big difference compared to the pin close to the fingers.  I bet you get more strikes off the pin high ball compared to the other pin above the bridge one?

Damn, ball #2 was really angular. I have never seen something like that before.

Sweet heh!

Hey, how many times do you see a right hander get it back from outside 5 in that joint?  I think it happened once, like 8 years ago or something.

Good to hear from you!

BZach - You know what I think of that pair.  I'm pretty sure you know where I'd throw that pair if I had the choice.  Maybe, just maybe, the decks got tightened and we won't have to watch corner pins jump a 1/2" off the stay standing up.  By the way, you didn't answer my question you lefty.

Greatness - If you're looking for some help on higher friction wood surface, I'd look to the RXS300.  The Angular One has a very aggressive cover and may be a little earlier than you're looking for.  While I'm sure you could get one to work, there are several other options, such as the RXS, that fit the situation better.  I don't know anything about your physical game, but the smoothness and the length you'll get from the RXS300 should keep you in play on your surface for your entire night each week.

Good luck!
