RS-P drilling
« on: October 19, 2005, 04:50:36 AM »
Just got my new RS-P from Buddies today after just ordering it yesterday, thanx Chris.  Anyway, its a 15 lb, 4 oz with 2.75 ounce top weight and a 4 - 4.5 inch pin.  Looks more like around 4.  I wanted to long pin to make it dynamic.  My stats are medium to high speed, medium revs, 45 degree axis rotation, PAP 5 1/2" over, 3/8" up.  Consider myself a tweener.  I have a RS-1 drilled 5 x 3 which goes long just like I wanted it with a good look on the backend and a RS-X drilled 4 x 3 and dulled up to handle the puddle when I run across it.  I bought this RS-P to replace my dying Ace that is drilled similar but just has too many miles on it and now I use it shined up to play up 10 with.  I'm wondering what to expect from this ball with my favorite layout in it.  I've recently switched from throwing nothing but Storm to RotoGrip because they are made by Storm and not too many people here in NH throw RotoGrip.  Quite a shame as me and my friend are quickly loving the hit and reaction out of these balls.  I bowl on about 10 year old synthetic lanes which we dress with a Top Hat pattern oiled 34, buffed to 40 feet with our new Kegel Kustodian (Best Oil Machine ever made).  I'm planning on leaving this in the box finish as I need some more bite in the oil.  Tell me what you think loyal RotoGrip fans.  Thanx.

Jarrett

OK Dave, I did use a Grey Scotch brite on it so its not totally dull but I do like your idea of shining it back up now that I have the RS-P.  Do you think that layout would be good for it?  Thanx for getting back to me.

Thanx Dave, I think the 4 x 4 stacked drilling might be the ticket for a tournament ball or when I want to open the lane up.  I was thinking of drilling it 5 x 4, but now that I think about it, 4 x 4 will let it handle more oil.  Thanx again Dave.

Dave, the way I drilled it last night came out to be roughly around 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" with the 4" pin that it came with.  Pretty much looks like a stacked drilling with the pin about an inch about and to the right of my ring finger and the RAD in the strong position.  Haven't had a chance to throw it yet but I have a feeling it'll do just what I want.  I tried laying it out 4 x 4 but it would have put the CG about 1 1/4" in the thumb quadrant and I don't like those type of drillings so I did just a simple 2 inch label shift and this is how it came out.  Should do nicely for me.  I'm going to throw it Saturday afternoon and I'll post my review Monday.  Thanx again.
