Title: Big Bang question
Post by: Hand of God on August 20, 2006, 08:01:09 AM
I ordered up a 15lb Big Bang  3"pin - 3 top weight

Any idea how I should drill it.. I was thinking stacked since the coverstock and core get such easy length.  

I want it for medium and fresh house patterns.

Any advice?

If you like the "stacked leverage" layout, as you did on your Ternimator ... sure, try it again with the Big Bang; the core/coverstock combo is different so you should definitely get a different look on the BB; sounds like that layout suits you, which makes it versatile for you, so any "tweaking" of the reaction can be done by adjusting the cover and/or a balnce hole.
 Good luck and keep us informed !!!

Would "Stacked Leverage" be good for a bowler like me who likes the balls to go long with a nice backend?

I know that the website has the drilling informatoing but i rather get insights on people who have used a ball with the drilling.

Put the CG under the ring finger and kick the CG out 25-30 degrees.
It will simply eat any and all oil encountered.

LayBzz yeah, BB seems to have built in length from the two i have seen.... I think stacked is the way to go.

Thnx

I had mine drilled with the stacked leverage drilling, and it worked very very well....

I have two a 15 lb and 16 lb both pin over ring and cg below 3 inches with no weight hole, both roll great. I can highly recommend this ball will work on oil and even lighter mediums when you move inside with it. I played with the 16 lb er at sam's town one morning and was playing 4 th arrow out to board 2 and back shot after shot. The ball was amazing and was getting through the heads better and stronger than a brand new storm agent i was also using that day with same exact drilling on it.

Yeah from waht i have seen, the built in length + the nice strong arc back end + the smooth reads coverstock + LM/L crack at the pins, makes Big Bang the IDEAL medium oil ball.

No this cover does NOT get easy length !

This thing is strong ! I got Robs old Big Bang (pin under ring, CG stacked...no weight hole)

OF the 2 ive thrown and seen.. even with pin under drills.. on fresh medium the ball has easy length... so stacked it is.

Anyone took their Big Bang from the sheen OOB finish to a glass polished finish?  The coverstock OOB is so strong that the ball start to bleed energy late in the second game and the third game of league play on a THS.

Strong... I dont see it... I know its partical, but I mean look at the Kong... Dont forget the fact that these are Low RG cores, but Medium RG balls once the core and  coverstock are combined.

So medium RG moves the break point down the lane.... So if you got 17-18 mph like i do, and a little head oil, the BigBang from what I've seen really gets easy length, and a nice SMOOOOOTH arc at the end, strong, but not eratic... just powerfully smooth.

I'm punching up at 15lb Big Bang, drilling it stacked on monday.

I switched back to 15 from 14... since most LM/L 14s seemed to be really long, with a higher RG.  And that seems to be the case for Most 14s out there.  They seem to lack a little.
