Need help drilling a Blade Particle
« on: July 13, 2004, 09:51:43 PM »
Hey everyone,

I just picked up a used Blade Particle and I'm wondering how to drill it up. The current layout has the pin above and right of the ring finger, cg in line below, just below grip center. The pin looks to be at least 4". I want this to be my heavy oil ball, but I want to foster the greatest amount of recovery possible. How would you suggest drilling this one? My specs can be found in my profile. Thanks for the help!

Bowling is without a doubt the dumbest, most pointless, most idiotic excuse for a game that has ever been invented. So, what time are we bowling tomorrow?

Gene,
I have to agree with Drrev2000 about the Blade Particle.  I bought mine figuring it would be good for heavy oil and was very disappointed with its response.  It would flare and try to turn a corner but mostly just skid and hit weak.

Then, I polished it up and threw it on a more medium condition and got a lot better look and hit with it.

I would recommend the original Diesel or Power Diesel for a ball that doesn't seem to mind oil and will still hit with the best of them.

Hope this helps.  Scott

I had mine drilled with the pin up and cg kicked out on grip line about a 4.75 x 3.

I ball was great on shorter heavy patterns as it came back strong!

it was to strong for me on a THS unless it was real fresh. I never did play with the coverstock.

I never threw it on a  long pattern so I can't say. I only had it for 3 or 4 months when I dropped down to 14#.

an excellent ball IMO.
