ok need opinions on B/G Centaur and AMB solid
« on: May 16, 2006, 05:42:34 PM »
Check Profile for drillings.

ok, So I finally decided after a long time of thinking about it that I am going to go ahead and go to the Jr. Gold Tournament this year (sport shots).  I wasn't going to worry about getting any more equipment until next year and just make do with what I have but considering I have an Original Inferno as my oil ball right now, that just doesn't quite cut it.  So I'm planning on buying 2 bowling balls tomorrow.  won't get drilled till next week but thought I'd get this up early.  I'm going to buy and AMB Centaur Solid and a B/G Centaur.  I've got a fair amount of hand so I can probably get the AMB Solid to work on most anything except for extreme amounts of oil.  The B/G is going to be my control ball for when the lanes get really squirley and I'm having a problem finding the shot.

B/G Centaur

Now that you know my situation, I need some advice on how to drill these 2 bowling balls.  I was figuring on probably drilling the AMB 3 3/8 x 3 3/8 just because I want the ball for oil and that will give it the most overall hook.  The B/G I'm not quite so sure about,  I want to make sure it doesn't overeact, but I don't want the ball to just roll out in the middle of the lane and roll straight into the pocket with no energy left.  By the way, I'm still learning Asymetrical ball drillings so go ahead me a few things if you want .  I'm picturing kind of an old Hammer type of reaction.  Any suggestions?

Lemme know what you think.
Thanks
Jeremy

P.S.  Probably will call Jason tomorrow and talk to him about it too.

I was told that, although the B/G Centaur has a marked mass bias, that the MODIFIED DC core was designed to be a low flaring ball.

 Makes sense, as mine will flare some, but not nearly like some of my high flaring stuff.  Smooth and clean through the heads and strong on the backends, but not too strong, very predictable.

I'll be calling Visionary on Monday and Talking to Jim, Jason might have some Ideas too.  So hope I can get some help from them.  I'll let you know what they say,  I should be getting the balls on probably tuesday or wednesday, maybe as early as monday but I doubt it.  I'll let you all know what the verdict is.

Thanks for all the help
Jeremy
