Current bowling establishment has recently purchased
a new oiling machine and using a new oil that makes
the backends more tacky. Question is what Track ball and
how can I drill to combat this shot. Really struggling.

Current arsenal:Slash, polished, pin under bridge
Solutions, polished pin rt of ring small wt hole
Dry Heat, pin under bridge (ball not consistant)
The slash and solutions snap to hard where as the dry heat tends
to be a little incosistent. Rh bowler 15.5-16 mph medium revs
pap 4 1/2 rt and 1 1/2 up. Is there something out there in the Track
line that I can have drilled now or should I waite until the fall
for a new release

Thanks

Bill

Hey Bill,

The balls are in the line up but now it's more of a matter of layout and surface that would help control your backend reaction. I'd suggest a 1x1 layout on whatever surface gives you the best read (don't know how much oil you're on). You can also go with a little more surface and a weak drill pattern so the ball can expend more energy early and not store until the backend which is what makes it jumpy.

Couldnt tell you how long the oil is now
but the ball clears the heads with no problem.
After that the ball makes a left hand turn to
the pocket. This kind of reaction tends to leave
a lot of splits for me where others may like it.

Try taking the shine off your Slash, so it'll lose a lil energy before it hit's those screamin backends. Try Track's Clean N Dull. Also Scotchbrite has a new no-scratch cleaning pad at the grocery store for .80 cents. It's great when used with the clean n dull when you want to take the shine off the ball without making the ball too dull or leaving scratch marks.
If your backends are still flying take your ball in to your proshop and put a 1000 abralon or wet sand on the finish.
Or you could pick up the new Arsenal Artillery left in OOB.
Or, you could try staying behind the ball a lil more.
Good Luck.

Thats a tough call Bill...sounds like a shorter pattern almost....sounds like you need something with a mild cover with the drilling Tenpin suggests....maybe something along the line of a Blast would work....mine gets down the lane very nice and it needs some dry to turn over......

if your looking for a ball that will clear the heads, and have a more controlled backend, look at the desert heat. it has a low diff. of .20
that ball drilled with the mb 1 1/2 left of your grip center, pin under the middle finger if possible.

I'd say something solid, with no polish, with a "zero degree" layout. Pin under the fingers (the closer to the pap, the more boards it will cover) and the cg in a line with your pap. this will put the core on its side, and allow the ball to roll, and roll continuous. I have/had a slash like this, pin under the ring finger, a desert, that's the exact same, and a heat with the pin under the middle finger. (there is a link to pictures of all these somewhere on this site). Another layout is that that Rick said, I have a hexplosion with this layout and it doesn't flip on anything. Depends how much oil you're looking at, i'd say a purple solution at about 1000, a heat blast at about the same, or an artillery if you're on wetter.

Hello Bill, I too had some of the same issues that you have encountered. I drilled a Heat Blast 4-1/2 x 3-1/2 pin above the fingers I`m probably alittle softer on the speed but you could put it even or under and then just hit the track area with a burgandy scotch brite pad lightly. This will allow it to lose some of its energy thus reducing the snap. With this layout I have been able to tackle my nemmesis pattern that you have explained lol.

look for a hex plosion and polish it up Pin on the center line below your fingers and CG on the mid line 1/2-1" right of the center of grip......you will love it

Did they run the oil machine? Was there any oil in it.....
