Weird tracking on a Black Cherry Bomb
« on: June 12, 2006, 01:59:36 AM »
I picked up a used BCB a while back and I've been getting a real weird tracking when I throw it. For some reason the ball is tracking right threw the cenetr of grip, exactly like a full roller !

The ball is drilled up and righ of ring, cg stacked. My stats are: 425rpm, cranker with PAP of 5 1/4 over and 1 up.

The ball has a flare reducing hole inside my PAP as well. Ive heard that the super high flaring bomb cores sometimes don't work stacked.

I have no problems tossing the ball, its not catching ect...

Any ideas?

you can tell by the spread and wobble between the rings of how agressive the core is, a highly agressive core ball will act a lot different on the determinator then a weaker core ball

He didn't say it was stacked leverage... but your comment still has some validity to it.

Yes, Mav, drilling a high flaring layout on a agressive core ball is very unnecessary, Drill a ball maxed out is not always the answer

Ok guys I didnt have the ball drilled I bought it used like this. So I figured I would try it as is. You would think the flare reducing hole would do something...

As for the flare, for me on the BCB, it goes all the way around the ball back over the x-hole and through the middle as well, LOL !

I got the ball with it being on its second drill, so I don't plan on redrilling it...it was more of an impulse buy

...but for the record, both my HDB and pearl DB is stacked and they roll great !

302, Keep in mind that the HDB and the DB do not have the same core as the BCB, The HDB and the DB have the single mini diamond in the middle and the BCB have 2 mini stacked diamonds which will make the BCB a higher flaring ball.

I just meant to show what you heard is not really true for everyone.  I know it might flare like you said with some people

next time I go to the proshop, I will ask my driller for it
