Well, decided before the state tourney this weekend to fill a few gaps in my arsenal....I punched up Robo Rules #9 and #10! Here is what I already had with pics of the layouts below the descriptions. I wanted something with the pin just above the fingers to help the ball get a few feet further down the lane. Mostly everything else I have is pin below/even with the fingers, around 2-2 3/4 above the midline...so for Robo #9 I decided to leave the factory surface on the ball and place the pin above the ring (about 3 1/4 inches above midline, 5 inches from PAP) with the mass bias swung out 1 3/4 from the VAL. Extra hole int he thumb quadrant on the VAL 2 inches below PAP. I had a Rock On drilled very similar to this (no mass bias on it though) and really like the way this ball handled oil. While it was not the best oil ball, games 2,3 or 2nd shift (which I bowl Saturday at Inter City) it killed....

Robo #10.....I decided to drill like an old Avenger I had. Ball got decent length and had a super move (had a high diff though). Placed the pin 1 1/4 from PAP, 1 3/4 above midline with the mass bias just right of the thumb alomst 5 inches from the VAL. Left the factory surface on. Ball is similar on a fresh shot to another Robo, but there is a difference and I am sure if I hit drier stuff, this one will shine. Did not get to throw it much due to the holiday and stuff, so can't give you a real great feel yet....


#1 Pin 2 inches above midline, 3 1/2 from PAP.....mass bias 3 1/2 from VAL, factory surface

#2 Same as #1 but has Delayed Reaction on it

#3 Pin 1 1/2 above midline, 5 1/4 from PAP, mb 2 1/2 from VAL, factory surface

#4 same as #3 but with Delayed Reaction

#5 Pin 2 above midline, 4 1/2 from PAP, mass bias 6 1/4 from VAL, factory surface

#6 same as #5 but with Delayed Reaction

#7 Pin 4 inches above midline, 5 1/4 from PAP, mass bias 5 inches from VAL, factory surface

#8 Pin 2 1/2 inches above midline, 6 inches from PAP, mass bias 5 inches from VAL, Delayed Reaction

(NEW) #9 Pin 3 1/4 above midline, 5 inches from PAP, mass bias 1 3/4 from VAL, factory surface.

(NEW) #10 Pin 1 3/4 above midline, 1 1/4 from PAP, mass bias 5 inches from VAL, factory surface

Yes, Track actually puts all of their orders on hold for a day when I call! Just kidding. I also rent a UPS truck to get everything to me straight from San Antonio so they don't have to make any other stops.

Yes, Rev, I am taking my UPS truck to Toledo this weekend, thus why I could not bring the kids without a backseat....and even if it did, I need places to put my stuff! Even though its only a 3 1/2 trip for me, I am leaving 8 hours early to accomodate for the extra weight....hope I make it on time...maybe I will have to leave the wife somewhere if the load is too much for it to handle....

And don't forget, this does not include the 3 or 4 I had last year as well.

Mark,

As for Ace, they cringe everytime I call....trust me! Even though most of my stuff comes directly from Track, I also deal with a few other distributors as well.

One good thing....at least I can't say I didn't have the right drill for what I was seeing! Now, its a matter of surfaces.

hey Clint,

How about you drive the Uhaul truck, but bring your drill press with you this weekend. I might have a few blanks I need to punch out..

Along03.....it depends on your PAP....the further away from your PAP, the longer it takes for the pin or mass bias to get there, the longer the ball spins down the lane before picking up a roll. In general, that would have ok length, but not as much as you probably could get out of it....

Rev-O....I don't know...I remember taking that 700 pound giant up the 20 steps upstairs to the shop...YIKES!

Alzgarvin....Yes, mine ends with the pin below my fingers as well, ball is cleaner through the heads and this drill picks up a roll the best out of all my Robos in the mids...I use these 2 whenever I can as I feel they give me more charge than anything else....
