taming the punch out
« on: March 17, 2015, 05:24:18 AM »
I bought this to be my dry lane ball, but it seems too strong. Have it drilled weak but it still grabs the mid lane and has tremendous backend.

I know that sounds like an ad that most would jump on, but as a lefty I don't enjoy having to play 17-18/5 or 20/8.  Any ideas to weaken this thing overall without losing length?

The Punch Out is a medium oil ball and I haven't seen anyone able to tame one

As a lefty with strong turn and decent revs and a strong wet/dry shot.

I take most of my Storm Pearls and sand up to 3000(from factory box 1500 with polish) and then throw, and sometimes add polish.  There are brands of polish I think that jump less than the Storm brands also.

These allow me to often get left of 15 at the arrows where I find more carry.

A thought.
