Delta 1 drill - What should I expect?
« on: October 09, 2005, 08:46:44 AM »
I just bought a Delta 1 from Ebay used (mint condition) drilled like this:
 
Pin over ring, and slightly to the right, cg and MB stacked under the pin.

............pin

.....O  O

.................cg

......O.....MB


This ball is currently polished. What type of look should I expect from this if I don't change the drilling?

That drilling should get very good length and really pronounced pop (left turn, Clyde) on the backend. Pin high for length; MB strong. My Rule is drilled almost identical, but with a little shorter pin. You'll definately need some oil up front, because even with the pin high, that cover can read early (generate friction) and get into a roll pretty quickly. Depending on the condition, a light coat of Magic Shine could help it get down the lane a bit better. Let us know how it works for you.

Well, it may be close to leverage with your PAP...generally, any ball with the pin that high up creates length with more backend, the polish will add to that, and the mass bias in strong position will emphasize this reaction as well....

Thanks guys! Since this will be the last ball I will buy for awhile, my arsenal is complete.

This is what I have currently (all undrilled, the Delta needs to be plugged and redrlled):

GP2
Delta
Arsenal Aggressive
Arsenal Angular
Slash
Heat
Hexplosion
Desert Heat

I know I asked plenty of arsenal questions in the past. The reason all these balls haven't been drilled yet, is because over the summer I was working with different pitches to see what works the best with an old ball, and right now I'm recovering from knee surgery (arthroscopic done on 9/27, hope to be back in league by early November). So I wont have this done until later this month.

My final arsenal question is, what should I start off drilling for my league shot (usually THS, medium on synthetics), and then for tournaments? And also how should I set this up, from strongest to weakest.

Thanks a million in advance!
