Asymetric; Advantages & Disadvantages
« on: September 29, 2014, 02:59:10 PM »
What are the differences, advantages, disadvantages, etc..  of symetric and asymetric balls and are they things a once-a-week league bowler like myself  will notice? 

I'm currently using a Storm Special Agent but recently bought a fully plugged and resurfaced Roto Grip Theory.  So once I get it drilled, how much difference am I going to see in the two balls?  I know the layout has a lot to do with how the ball will react, but will one ball have an advantage over the other on given lane conditioins?   

Thanks!!

What I haven't seen mentioned, in regards to a "consistent release", is what exactly is being referred to?  Ball speed, rev rate, release point, how your hand comes out of the ball or all of the above?

All of the above, but most importantly the ability to release the ball with the same PAP every time.  I've checked PAP's on a lot of three games a week bowlers and many can't do this.  And regarding the ability to mimic asymmetric characteristics with a symmetric ball, yes, I can do that.  But I wouldn't put a three game a week bowler in this type of layout on a symmetric either.  --  JohnP
