Need drilling suggestions for RSP
« on: November 20, 2005, 11:29:52 PM »
Don't know what to do with it.  Don't care how much or how little it hooks, I just don't want it to roll out.  It's got a pretty long pin (3.5-4, I believe).  I get more and more worried each time I drill a new ball, because the majority of them recently have sucked.  I'm also worried because RG is a division of Storm, and I've never really been impressed with Storm's particle or particle pearls (with a couple exceptions, X-IT, El Nino 2000, and Trauma Recovery, but they're all older).  I'm not really impressed with my Oracle either.  Rolls up really nicely, but it's as over/under as a weak pearl ball.  I've never had a particle ball not roll up for me.  I have a light oil house and heavy oil house, and it does the same thing at both of them.  

I'd like something to react like my original X-Factor, but stronger, so I was going to copy the drilling (5x3) and hope it rolls the same.  Last two balls I've done that on haven't had such great results though.  My Reloaded didn't hook hardly at all, and my Triple X rolled out and was way too snappy.  I'm worried, very very worried . . .

Don't know what the units are at either house, but I know the pattern at the synthetic house is 23 feet buffed to 36.  Short pattern, yeah, but particle stuff OWNS at that house.  Wish I could find another Fuze Detonator.  Pattern at the other house is 35 feet buffed to 42.  RSP reacts better at the longer heavier pattern, but that's just because the backends are incredibly sharp.  I just think the guy at the synthetic house doesn't know how to run lanes, their "sport shot" they put down for youth tournaments every now and again has absolutely flying backends, and the simple freakin house shot he puts down has a hang spot from 6-10 at the breakpoint, and outside that is WAY too dry, and inside that you'll never carry.  A lot of hand or no hand scores at that house, there's no other way around it, and that's the way it is for EVERYBODY, not just me.  Average speed average rev bowlers don't score there.  

There was PLENTY of oil at the synthetic house tonight though, ball wouldn't wrinkle on one lane.  I'll try to get a video, but I doubt it'll happen.

HamPster,

I would a 4x3, 70 or 75 degree layout. This is the way I laid mine out and I love the reaction. 2nd night in league I shot 245, 300, 256 but this is with the ball polished. Good luck!!!!
