Benchmark Asymmetric
« on: September 11, 2018, 07:13:22 AM »
With the new rules eliminating balance holes, asymmetric cored balls will be the best way to get the layout that you need.

However, current asymmetric balls are geared towards those who need a strong ball. For a number of bowlers, these balls are too strong for playing the typical house shot. An asymmetric cored ball with medium differentials and medium cover would be better.

The first company to produce a benchmark asymmetric ball wins!

The Kinetics, Honey Badger, and Matrix don't count as asyms. The Code X, Black Ops series, do count.
Their asymmetry isn't strong enough. .008  and above count asasyms.

The Kinetics, Honey Badger, and Matrix start out with mild asymmetry which is what makes them well suited as benchmark asymmetricals.  Depending on the layout, they can easily end up with the same intermediate diff that the Code X and Black Ops balls start with.

If they don't count as asymmetricals, then the manufacturers wouldn't be allowed to advertise them as such.

Mo and even Track have shown how its not hard to have both a symmetric or asym ball based on the drilling.  Tend to agree though don't really start seeing the classic asym traits until reach .01 int diff or above unless you use exotic drillings or something.

I thought the definition of asymmetrical was based on the core shape, not the dynamics of the ball?

.008 is the point where assymetry starts to show, but I don't really notice it until you get into the .015 arena.
