now that the zero gravity is on closeout......
« on: February 05, 2015, 10:09:02 PM »
......do you think that storm will release the zero gravity gold or a hybrid version of the zero gravity stateside? do you think that they will let the concept of a weaker asymmetrical fade away? from what i gathered from a lot of bowlers that had the zero is that the coverstock was too strong for it to be a medium condition ball but the core wasn't strong enough for it to be a heavier oil ball unless the surface was changed to a lower grit finish. what were your thoughts of the zero gravity and would you want a pearlized version of it if it were released?

I agree with Gene and charlest you have to use it on the medium and med heavy, I love my ZG it is a great sport pattern ball, to me it really matches up to the medium patterns so well. I am going to get another one for sure..

rightycomplex, i could be wrong but the way that i understand it the general problem with stronger asymmetrical equipment is that they tend to lose too much energy if you try to cross a bunch of boards and will begin to hit flat. does anyone else have a different opinion?

I think this is more of an issue of people drilling their asymmetrical equipment like their symmetrical equipment.  The stronger asyms need to be approached differently to prevent what you are talking about.

I think that is the BIGGEST issue with people drilling asymmetrical balls. I discovered that my low tilt required SHORTER pin to pap drillings compared to my symmetrical equiptment. Prior to learning that, all my asym balls rolled and hit like crap.

Never liked my Zero Gravity . . too strong a core for me personally.  It stays at home 99.9999% of the time.

I put 4 games on mine when it first came out and that was it. Mine was extremely angular! I went with my favorite pin up layout and well, the guys called it the zero turn after it made 180* turns down lane!

Haha we call it the zero carry in these parts.  It makes it to the pocket for me, doesn't matter what shot or lane condition, lane surface...no strikes lol

I love my zero gravity.  It's one of the best balls in my bag on all patterns except the extremes. Drilled it 5 x 50 x 40 with no extra hole

I never purchased the Zero Gravity, because I didn't think it would fit my game at the time.  I did drill one up for a younger guy in the league.  Big strong guy that is a no thumb bowler.  His average went from high 190's to 225+.  It is the only ball he uses.  There is a ball for everyone.

Like I always end up saying, it's all about matching up. There are certainly some special bowling balls here and there that just seem to be great for everyone, but most balls can be good for anyone if they are matched up properly with it. On the flip side, just about any ball can be a dog if it's not laid out properly for the bowler and/or used on the right conditions.
