WMB III
« on: November 02, 2006, 05:22:46 AM »
Does anyone have any experience with this ball?  Looks like the S&D core with a "hybrid pearl" cover...  I saw there were a few lighter weight ones on eBay.  I'm looking for something new to get for my mom (and this ball happens to be a color she likes).  She has slow speed (roughly 12 mph) and mild revs (175-200 rpm).  She tracks high (1/4" from fingers and thumb).  Low axis tilt and more forward roll (15-20 degrees rotation).  Her biggest issue is with equipment achieving enough length and keeping the ball from being jumpy on the backend.  

With the proper layout and a mild surface prep (maybe 2000 grit Abralon and polish) would this ball work?  Would something like a 5" pin to PAP well above the midline (3'-4") and a longer MB to PAP (maybe 4.5"-6"?) help to get the ball down the lane and smooth out the backend?

Thanks,
S^2

I think so, it would be a good fit for your Mom. I haven't had experience with this ball but I have had a S&A and that is pearlized and it got down the lane incredibly easy and had a more controllable backend than most pearlized gear that i have had experience with

again no experience, but Mo's cores give so many drilling options it can work for anyone.

i had one a while back, it was a 14lber it went very long and had minimal recovery. i sold it and redrilled it for a young lady who had a high track with low revs,and cut with 1000 grit abralon and it works great for her so i think it will work good for your mom. let me know if i can help any more.
