Ravage: First Impression/Mini Review
« on: June 19, 2004, 08:33:06 AM »
Drill Pattern: 2 1/2 Pin 2 Pap, MB right below thumb 6" from pap, that puts pin about finger high

The lanes were oiled yesterday morning, so they were a touch squirrely this afternoon.  I started with my Time Zone as a base(see profile).  It is sanded to 1500, I had to play pretty direct.  I was sliding 18, playing up 8,9.  I shot 22?, I think.  

I picked up the Ravage, box surface(polished), and moved two right from my starting point with the Time Zone.  I was threw the nose.  Moved 1 left, 9-pin, 1 left, 3 bagger.  I was rather impressed with the carry.  The Time Zone was carrying well, but the Ravage seemed to really retain hitting power.  I immediately fell in love with it, I have never seen a ball "hit" as hard as this one.  I know that sounds stupid and I normally wouldn't say something like that.  Really, how do you judge how hard a ball hits?  I can just say the Ravage hitting pins caused a big bang and Time Zone was just barely gettin em down.

The Time Zone and Ravage seem to compliment each other well.  I dried the line out with the Time Zone and then went to the Ravage with good success.  I shot 238, with an open(split), finishing with the last 7.  I am really satisfied thus far with the Ravage. The Ravage is weaker overall(with this layout), but it stores energy well.  I didn't have much success trying to swing the ball but the condition was not conducive to that line.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

A special thanks to MoRich for the suggested drill pattern.

thanks,
Andrew

Glad it was what you were looking for...  The type of drilling that you have on it was designed for exactly how you are using it.  You can drill one with the pin in the 3 1/2" range to really swing the ball.  If anyone has any questions or comments feel free to PM me.

To MoRich
Do you think that this ball could be set up for Pattern E. I am using a Collussus Pearl now and it has performed well. Could the Ravage be set up for more length? What pin and top weight would I order? Let me know.
