25497 - Roto Grip / Re: Optimum Idol
« Last post by strikingresults-atl on Today at 09:00:24 PM »
Roto Grip Optimum Idol Ball Review
Layout
VLS 5x4x2.5
Dual Angle 50x5x37
The Idol is back!!!!!!!!
If you loved the orginal Idol you’re going to love the Optimum Idol which features the orginal core from the Idol but it’s wrapped with AI technology with the same cover that’s on the Gem.
Optimum Idol is going to be a great benchmark option for medium to heavy oil lane conditions.
For me the Optimum Idol is a great step down from the Magic Gem but stronger than the Tour Dynam- x.
The Optimum Idol will be the first ball out of my bag to get a read of the lane conditions.

Attention Star Ball Review
Layout
VLS-5x4x2
Dual Angle-50x5x30
Surface-1000/4000 Grit Dull
Roto Grip Attention Star wll be a great addition to the Roto Grip lineup.
Attention Star features a new core used here in the US wrapped with the AI technology with the cover from the RST-X2.
Attention star will fit right between the Gem series and the TNT series.
Attention Star will be cleaner than the Exotic Gem but with a sharper move on the backend.
In my lineup its stronger than my TNT Infused so when my TNT Infused isn't strong enough on the backend Attention Star will be my choice.

25497 - Storm / Re: DNA Coil
« Last post by strikingresults-atl on Today at 08:43:32 PM »
 DNA Coil Ball Review
Layout
VLS-5x4x2.5
Dual Angle-50x5x37
Surface-Reacta Gloss
Storm DNA Coil will fit into the storm lineup perfectly.
Storm DNA coil features the same core from the orginal DNA but with the Exo pearl coverstock.
The DNA coil will rev up nicely in the midlane but with a smooth flip on the backend.Its not too angular on the backend and  it will be a good option on those over/under lane conditions.
It will pit perfectly between the absolute power and the virtual energy blackout.
If you feel like you need some shape on the backend and your vitual energy blackout is too angular the coil will be a great option.

58758 - Drilling & Layouts / Re: Symmetrical layout for low track low speed
« Last post by bowler33 on Today at 11:16:38 AM »
Our house shot is 43 feet and 25 or 26 ml. So plenty of oil, but it is tapered some so not a huge wall. I normally use strong balls that work well for me. A shines up.UFO and Halo Vision are 2 of my favorites along with the Venom shock. The Shock actually covers more boards than the 2 assyms. Just wanted to try the new AI technology in the Sublime and since my PAP has changed I really would like to.get the layout right. Thanks for all the input.

I seem to get better carry now with the lower track. If you watch some of MO Panels old videoes he specifically mentions that if you stay behind the ball too much,.you better bring your spare ball. He advocates for really getting around the ball for today's game. So I am just trying to find some layouts that will maximize this new track. I do welcome these comments and am always trying to improve my game. Was thinking about drilling the SUBLIME like the Shock, but moving over about 1 1/2 or 2 inches away from the VAL. Low flare with a 20-30 degree VAL angle. Any thoughts?

Where I bowl there's actually oil on the lanes, and plenty of it. The more I "spin" the ball the worse it gets because the ball never gets to the roll phase on a regular basis, causing the endless 10 pins.  With plenty of dry then tilt will be your friend.  Best of luck to you.

Short pin layouts (pin distances from 1 1/4" - 2 1/4" from your PAP) work extremely well for many lower speed rev dominant bowlers. 

Have you measured your tilt?  A lowered PAP number does not always equate to a higher tilt number.  I would choose the actual layout distance based on your measured tilt. https://youtu.be/jVsTEuRUvi8?si=v_sNT6jjjv1fVqkJ

COMMENTS

Likes: FIREBALL!!!! Last year Ebonite came out with a ball called Fireball. I did not try one, but my friend Craig Miller swore by it. Then he shot a couple 300's & a couple 800's. Recently Ebonite came out with the Fireball Purple & Gold. Well, I wasn't going to miss out a 2nd time. So glad I ordered one. This is a ball designed for medium to dry lanes, but so far, I've liked it on the fresh for our House Shot. This ball has the same core but a little different formulation of the cover-stock chemistry. GB11.2 w/ HK22 vs GB10.7 w/HK22 which I'm told gives this ball a little stronger change of direction when it reads the friction. All I can tell you beyond that is, I like the shape it creates, I like the way it goes through the pins, and being a "mid" performance ball, it won't break the bank.

I'm probably one of the few old heads that also owns an old Donkee spinner. I might be able to help if you posted a picture of what you're talking about. My spinner is just a 1 speed and fairly simple to operate. Hit me back!
