Desert Heat Drilling
« on: January 04, 2007, 05:46:36 AM »
I finally ordered my Desert.  I have heard so much about it and I need something to fit under my Equation.  I would like to drill this for control and possibly use it for a combo dry lane/spare ball.  I wont know if I will be able to pick 10's with it until I try in practice, I'm using a plastic ball now.  Here is how my arsenal is drilled:

Robo Rule:  Pin 3 1/2 from pap, just under fingers, MB 1 inch right of thumb
Power Machine:  Pin 4 1/2 from pap, just above fingers, MB 1 in. right of thumb
Equation:  Pin 4 1/2 from pap, 1 1/2 above fingers, GC 3 3/8 from pap w/X-hole
Desert Heat:  2 1/2 - 3 inch pin, 3 oz top weight

I track very high and need to keep the pin in the safe zone

I was considering pin 5 1/2 from pap and just above fingers, gc in palm?

Any Recommendations are appreciated

I was able to use my new desert on the condition it was made for.  Short pattern with flying backends.  This is where my equation was out of control.  The desert still hooks on the backend but not near as much and it's much easier to control. Pretty good carry but left some ten pins on some good pocket hits, I guess thats just the way it goes.  I'm looking forward to using it again on this type of condition.  Thanks again fot the drill tips
