vicious attack-drilling help
« on: May 29, 2004, 02:14:59 AM »
I've seen balls with M.B. markings ( assymetrical ), but this one has an L.M.B. ( LOW MASS BIAS ) on it. Is this the same as other balls mass bias markings, or is the LOW part of it make a difference?

The pin is out 2 1/8in and it has almost 3 oz topweight. I am a higher track player with minimal axis tilt, a 45 degree axis rotation, and 350-400 revs.

Most of my other stuff is stacked ( except my granite gargoyle ) and stacked drillings tend to be "flippy" for me. I also don't need a ball thats starts early, as I can do that with my hand and prefer it that way.

I end up playing pretty deep ( 30-35 with my feet over third or fourth arrow- deeper if I have to is NOT a problem ). What I am looking for is a ball comes home hard without being too "snappy" on the backends. Everything I have tried to do this with so far tries to check up early, then when I shine it, they go straight to "skid/flip" mode.

I know this can be done, I've seen others do it. My granite is drilled with the cg on the pap with a pin distance of 3in. A weight hole is drilled into the cg label, leaving 1/2 oz positive sideweight. I get a reaction I love out of it, in fact I want a ball to be similar to this reaction, only stronger on the backend. The granite is HIGHLY polished and is susceptible to carrydown.

I know this is long, and I am sorry, but I know some of you guys can do this so, if you can help, PLEASE make some suggestions. I used to work in a shop, so I can understand pretty technical jargon, if that's what it takes.

Thanks,
Darreyl

P.S. I already posted this in drillings and layouts but thought I might get a hammerhead here, so I tried this one also.
