Ball is 2-3 pin and my specs are in my profile. Not really what I'm looking for outta this ball. I know with the right drill it can be flippy, so I guess I'm looking for more of an arch reaction. Mostly shoot on a well oiled THS with clean backs.
Anyone ?

I can use pin down drillings on string asym balls, but not on sym cored balls.
I have a few in the past, pin under ring Dirty Bomb and pin under bridge Smash Time and the balls would bump the thumb the whole lane

What kind of a PAP do you have? I consider myself a high tracker and have drilled symetric balls with pin down layouts for myself (without weight holes) without any issues.

So I had it drilled up today just went a basic 5 1 /2 pin to PAP stacked layout.
...and Storm advertises this ball as rolly ?...lol
This thing has more flip then the Fired Up.
Just another over reacting pearl ball.
Oh well...Next ball please

Drill a ball for length and skid/snap reaction, and what's it going to do? Go long and skid snap!If you want the ball to roll earlier, plug it and drill it for earlier roll. It WILL pick up on the midlane and have quite a bit of roll if you give it the right drill pattern and right surface adjustments (you may not want to keep it polished, for example, if you don't want skid/snap to give you an over/under reaction.

•Place the major pin 5" from the player's
PAP and place the "MB" on the player's
ball track next to the thumb hole.•Use
this layout for length with a medium
backend reaction.
•This layout is great for medium to light
oil. Also works well for players with
higher rev rates.
According to THAT (The instructions that came WITH THE BALL), this layout should not be flippy.
So you guys are saying Storm don't know anything about how to drill there balls ?

Length with a mild to med move is what I was going for. Something I could belly 30 to 12 or so. I wasnt looking for something (else) that rockets off the dry and hits the 7.
I didnt want it to roll up at 30ft and arch or roll out to the hole from the 5 board.

If so...weightholes on the VAL or even closer to grip center can tame a ball down.
REgards,
Luckylefty
PS it is a powerful flippy ball when drilled sort of standard without getting the ball to flare earlier(as others suggested above) or adding weightholes to mute backend.

Open the door...see what's possible...and just walk right on through...that's how easy success feels..

It did calm it down a little, but it still have a very pronounced move off the dry boards.
These ball are soo strong now-a-days..lol

quote:Exactly. It's "rolly" compared to its sister ball, the Fired Up. But it's still by nature got a skid/snap tendancy you have to really drill out of the ball. Especially when you leave it polished, which just accentuates the bounce off the dry.

Read it again..."so I guess I'm looking for more of an arch reaction"
Not total arch, just more of it. A 90 left turn is pretty much what it does. When I took the cover down, it rolled somewhat earlier, but still had a powerful move comming out of the med. Almost moved like a dull solid resin.
When I took it up to 4000 and with it with React-a-Shine it became a over under monster, pretty much all control was gone at that finish. So what I settled on after the weight hole was 2000, then took a rag with just water and got the ball hot for a few minutes on each side.

It sounds to me like what you're really looking for would be a moderately strong cover with a weaker core and a fairly tame drill...
Exactly....Looking at a Jolt solid as we speak. I got some shop credit and can get them for cost, so this might be next.
