Vibe XR.....How Did You Drill Yours?
« on: January 03, 2014, 11:25:43 AM »
Was wondering if anyone has drilled one up yet? If so, how did you drill it?  Did you have any issues with pin up drilling were the fingers removed the ball number?

Has anyone messed with the coverstock yet?

Thanks

my pap is 5 right 5/8 up...i don't know the #'s, i don't get that technical (too much to know). But i wanted this ball to stay right and in the drier part of the lane. It's drilled pin under my middle finger and the cg is kicked left of that (I'm right handed).

So far, the ball allows me to stay right on the house shot and when they dry out i can move very little and get the ball to the pocket. My issue is the ball is pretty over under and i will be taking the polish off to try it out at league again. I feel i have to throw it perfect to strike, otherwise the ball either wants to push too long or hook too soon. so hoping a surface change will allow for more control

Balls used to go sideways on the back end then house got new oil machine I think they don't know how to use and now lanes are pretty slick with not alot of backends and shot varies from lane to lane

thats very disappointing tot he customer.
I left a houise that i had been at for 25 years due to old wood lanes and very little oil
i was down to using a taboo spare ball last year. horribly dry
guy who does the lanes doesnt even bowl
