Post by: gradilonec on March 18, 2015, 08:16:51 PM
Just as the title states....how should I lay this puppy out? Going to use it for burnt lanes.

Use any of your favorite layouts. It is plastic.

Someone probably has the old Ebonite sheets for their earlier assymetric stuff. I used to but don't know where I put mine :-\.

Maybe this will help?  Ebonite Asymmetric Drilling Instructions (http://www.cheapbowlingballs.com/Assets/Drilling_Instructions/Ebonite/Asymmetric_Drilling_Instructions.pdf)

No matter how you drill it, you're  still going to have a plastic ball with a bit more flare potential. You're  better off doing something simple as far as the layout goes so it doesn't hook just enough to chop 2 pin combinations and hook off of the corner pins. When they are dry enough to use plastic, you won't notice much difference in a simple layout and something that will make it flare an inch or two more.

I would not drill it, probably just hold on to it. Such a cool old ball. Mine cracked and I remeber others doing the same. The clear werewolf was even worse. Then I would get a track spare+ or the hammer if I needed asymmetrical plastic!

i had one many years ago....  when they first came out and bought it to use for spares...  well the house i bowled in at the time had wood lanes and a pretty dry shot...  so it got used at a strike ball...  and it was just drilled up like normal plastic ball...i believe the " paw " was in the middle of my palm...
