Drilling Advice For BCB & Cherry Bomb Pearl
« on: March 09, 2008, 07:39:04 AM »
i'm looking for advice on how to have my 2 saws drilled up...

heres a lil info on me and the type of house these balls will be getting most use in 5'9 right handed bowler avg speed avg revs..avg height back swing nothing house is a all wood house that usually sees medium to heavy oil will be a league pattern and some tournament play as well.

the reaction im looking for is strong backend reaction and good midlane.

any advice would be helpful before they are taken to be drilled..my other problem is this most of the people in my area are only open certain hours which happen to be hours when im working and can not make it to their shop to personally be there as the ball is being drilled so even if anyone knew of a good driller that could drill these up for me if i get the specs of my hand to them and then i could drop them off at the center and leave the money for the drilling and pick them up when im off work or before i go into work would be great.

i live in the northern part of Scranton,Pa near Dickson City

Can't really recommend a drilling because I don't know enough about your style and/or lane conditions. Here is a link to lane 1 drilling specs for the BCB that you could provide to your ball driller. If he knows your game this should help.

thanks ill try that...as  far as my style goes i like to throw to stand usually about 4 boards left of center and throw it out to the 1st arrow and play the big hook but i can play more straighter when i need to..the lanes are 50+ yr old wood lanes that have been resurfaced at least 2x that i know of last time being back in early 2002-2003 its a typical house shot usually with a little bit more oil for league play. i looked at the drilling sheet just now i was thinking of the stacked drilling? the driller im possibly going with doesn't really know my game as this is a new driller for me as my old one is retired now

I would recommend leaving the same layout on the Pearl Cherry Bomb that is already on it. Just slug or plug the thumb to adjust to your grip measurements.

ok well i got the black cherry bomb drilled up today a little about this ball first,i bought it from the orignal user a lefty so the righty track was good coverstock is in great shape had it polished up by the driller to oob condition

told him i wanted it "stacked" he said ok you mean loaded i was like sure wtf not  so i got the ball in my hands went out to the lanes threw 4 games..1st game was just a warm up as i haven't touched a ball or been on a lane in about 15months.

just played different lines 1st game to see what kind of reaction i was gonna get and see where i should play, these lanes were freshly oiled with the house league pattern med-to heavy oil seemed like it you got the ball to far out past 2nd arrow  it would either come back lite or not turn in opposite direction.

so i found a line stood about 22 threw it out to 2nd arrow ball went long and came back like a mack truck.

2nd game-225
3rd game 245
4th game 280

so for me not bowling in such a time i think a 216 avg for 3 games is pretty damn good.

about middle way through the 4th game i noticed my fingers were starting to swell so I'm gonad wait until i go out again this Friday see if it happens again with the fingers if so i will go up a size in grips as i think that is the problem.

as far as the way the ball is drilled i will explain it like this pin under ring finger lane 1 diamond logo at about 245 3oclock with a balance hole a littleunderneath that on side

The drilling on the pearl is almost the same, but the pin is a little higher (in the ring finger). If the Black Cherry Bomb worked that well for you with that drill, the pearl will be a great go-to ball when the oil starts to go away or you face a lighter pattern.
