Secret Agent Help WHATS THE SECRET TO THIS BALL??
« on: July 26, 2007, 12:48:47 PM »
I had mine drilled and got to throw it today in league. This ball would not backend for me just roll a little early and just never seem to fully roll up. I shot 603 and my best look was the 3rd game when i played deep inside at 4th arrow and kept my breakpoint very close to the pocket. I tried adding some particle polish on the spinner after league and then tried it saw a little difference but nothing signifigant. I think there just wasnt enough oil today in league. Here is a pic of the layout

Anyone wanna help me out on some ideas what i can do here.

probably wasn't the best layout if you were looking for something to backend... the ball has particle in it so dont expect it to rip in the dry. i'd say throw it a little more, it was possibly burning up.

Reall coventential drill there boys. For you that ball is rolling and rolling it seems. I hit mine with 500, and through 300 today. I love it.

I would agree. It doesnt look like the pin would be very far from your PAP. Which would promote smooth roll and not much backend

This ball is not snappy at all. It's an arced movement, and very controllable.

yea i agree kenny. I liked how i could keep my breakpoint close to the pocket so i really wouldnt have to deal with jumpy reaction. My third game all i left was stone 8 in the 1st, 10 in the 6th and a 4 pin in the 9th.

i threw mine today on a fresh shot and it was quite an eye opening difference.I had to point it to the pocket until the lanes broke down. I wasnt expecting that at all. seems to be a good second shift ball at oob. I may take the surface down to 1000 to see how it is then .I know my leagues or gonna be wet . I did notice the more hit i put on it the more it hooked up but its definitely weaker in oil than my oddessy.

I originally dulled it to 500 for the Shark Pattern, and got a really good read for the ball. So I kept with it, and tried it on an open shot, and shot 300.
