Re: RG Values

I'd like to offer something that might be useful even though it is not 100% accurate... 88% might still be good enough - depends on the purpose. Caution: Not a read for the weak at maths... but I'll attach an Excel sheet. :D Sure, a quadratic function may be best to adapt to a known RG contour but i...

Re: A little info for columbia 300 fans.

The VOW seems to be a polished version of the omen but with different color scheme. Quite nice.

4000 abralon + rough buff equals?

Hi, I just recently polished my 4000 abralon finished Ransom Demand with powerhouse factory finish. I like the reaction shape but I was looking for a touch more length. More length I got but the ball is now much more sensitive to oil. The read is simply not very confidence inspiring any more. Does n...

Why does MoRich use bigger pins than other companies?

I recently received my first ever Mo-Ball the DestroyR :D However I noticed that the pin diameter is quite large (5/8" if I measured correctly). It seems like this could be a disadvantage with regard to layouts. The large pin would limit the choice of possible VAL angles if the rule is still va...

A layout study in Blueprint (Trial)

Hi everyone I was really excited about the possibilities in Blueprint so I waited for my trial period until my holidays. To make the most of the limited time in which I could use the trial version I planned ahead what I wanted to test. As a result I have accumulated a lot of data, learned a lot, had...

Re: Is it ball, me or the bowler?

Hey Rob, since I am currently fooling around with the BluePrint Trial anyway I thought I'd give it a run at your problem - kind of a reality check, like what should have happened. Please note that BluePrint does not have the Nexxus so I can only use something similar but it should be in the same bal...

Hi Sorry, no help from my side regarding the pattern but I wanted to help out regarding the age of the lanes for the guys who might be able to provide some advice: Lanes are only 2 years old - the world championships were in August 2010. I checked the date on the pictures I took at that event - obvi...

Hi, I want to support MoRich and am thinking about buying a 15lb DestroyR with 3-4" Pin. I sent morichgirl a PM about two weeks ago but got no response, yet. Tried the phone number from MoRich homepage 5 minutes ago but got the answering machine. Guess she's busy so I'll try this way. Basically...

Low diff. sym. balls and strong balance holes

Hi everyone I just wanted to share an experience to point out things that are logical once you think about it. Well, I drilled a 15lb Slingshot (RG 2.581, Diff. 0.021, Powerkoil17 Pearl) 70°x4"x45°. Then I added a double thumb hole (15/16" 2.5" deep) to increase total hook and make th...

Re: Interesting finding on Blueprint

It can also be shown mathematically that the surface of the ball slips/slides past the lane surface beneath it until axis rotation angle equals zero. As a consequence of this, it can additionally be shown mathematically that frictional forces will contribute to making the ball hook until axis rotat...

Re: Interesting finding on Blueprint

Hi I think it's really just matter of definition regarding axis rotation with tilt being less of a factor. The main difference is that Blueprint is rotating the coordinate system along with the ball so that its X-axis always faces the direction the ball is moving. If the ball has ended the hooking p...

900 Global Train, combustion core - Mo, do I miss something?

Hi Mo & friends I have no intention to shed a bad light on this ball. 900 Global typically makes some decent equipment so I stand to be corrected for the following observations: Just had a look at 900 Global's new "combustion core" because the shape made me curious. They have a lengthy...

Re: BJ Articles

Spine tilt probably is the correct answer. I recall an article by Rob Mautner in the May issue of BTM about release timing. According to this article increased spine tilt during release helps increasing the time between thumb and fingers exiting the ball. It increases ball speed and prevents hitting...

Re: Joe Cerar's reviews in BJI

BJI do post some of the ball reviews on their homepage. Not all of them though, which is quite understandable. I think it would still be cool to read all the reviews, even with a delay. It is a valuable resource for overseas fellows like me. If it wasn't for the shipping costs I would probably alrea...

Re: low tilt, high rotation - retain tilt or burn rotation?

Hi Mo we drilled the new specs last saturday into my wife's new spare ball. Took her only a few shots to feel comfortable. An increase in tilt was instantaneously visible. So, after about a dozen games exclusively rolled with that ball (all other balls are currently being plugged) her specs turn out...

Re: low tilt, high rotation - retain tilt or burn rotation?

Mo, thanks for the reply. I knew there might be questions so I logged my steps while measuring her hand. The following steps should correlate with the sequence shown in the fitting guide: 1) fan angle 5* -> used line A -> MF 3/8 left pitch, RF 1/2 right pitch 2) first span measurements MF 4-1/8, RF ...
