Re: Precise effects of asym cores?
All balls transition the same way, skid, roll, hook. ALL balls are asyms after drilling, but with different differential ratios. Stronger asyms (higher diff. ratios) transition through the hook phase faster, as long as everything else is equal. Read my BTM article on diff. ratio. It's in the Wiki. ...

Re: What Now
Okay your wanting a a ball or surface and layout that you can use for the conditions there. In the first part of your post you give the impression that the lanes are too oily. You talk of carrydown, the lanes not getting cleaned good. Making out theres oil all over the place. But then you put in sta...

Re: What Now
Going to a lower viscosity would make the lanes slicker, a higher viscosity is more durable.
Proper cleaning is important also, the lane machine should also be checked and serviced. To make sure it's doing it's job.

Ques. about doing The wiki fit system
About the wiki fit that is mentioned here all the time. I'm assuming first the wiki fit is meant to give you a good base fit as a starting place for your grip. The wiki as far as I can see doesn't have just a heading called "wiki fit" with instructions. You know start here->etc.->etc.->fin...

Re: Only half the mass of the ball?
The main negative about a full roller is that it has 0 axis tilt and thus depends solely on axis rotation for its hook. A semi roller does have over 50% of its mass on the side of the ball towards the hook direction until it loses all its axis tilt. I suspect that's what the writer was trying to sa...

Re: Only half the mass of the ball?
Statement seems like filler to me I'm curious what "turned in to" means. Seems like the editors of the manual missed this personal verbiage. The "turned in to" part makes me think they were maybe trying to say something different and it got phrased badly. Something Like maybe th...

Just in case it makes a difference heres the whole paragraph the quote is from. "The term “full roller” refers to how the bowling ball tracks down the lane. A full roller tracks between the finger holes and the thumbhole, over the full 27-inch circumference of the ball. This is the major reason...

Only half the mass of the ball?
I was reading in Chapter 7 – Fine Tuning the Physical Game of the bronze cert. manual about a full roller release and read this: "This is the major reason why the full roller is an ineffective delivery in today’s game; only half of the bowling ball’s mass is turned into the pocket , resulting i...

Re: Ball speed table--comment please
The problem with measuring speed via stopwatch, is it assumes the ball is only traveling 60 feet. Someone throwing the ball straight at the headpin will show a faster speed, than someone circling the lane, even if they have the same off hand speed. I believe the difference between these two bowlers...

Re: Vacant bowlers - is this idea crazy?
Having a vacancy might not hurt a team, but it doesn't help it either. A vacancy is like a bowler who always shoots average. He doesn't have a bad night, but he doesn't have a good one either. As far as the money goes, all the leagues I've ever seen. At the end off the season, the league deducted an...

It may be a little cluttered but well organized. What's going on at the bottom left area of the sheet? I'm not sure what that is for. The lower left is where you put your P.A.P. coordinates, as for the Pin-CG-MBP: box I always assumed that was for the layout used. That sheet isn't really meant for ...

Re: Ball speed table--comment please
One thing about the stopwatch vs video method. They are measuring two different things. The stopwatch method gives you basically a average speed for the length of the lane. For the ball traveling from the foul line to the head pin. The Wiki video method is giving you the at release speed. Based on t...
