Re: Primo vs. Yeti

Just like the topic states how does the Primo stack up against my tried and true beloved original Yeti witch is drilled pin above RF with Motion hole at 1.125 diameter. Hope to hit the Appleton WI demo 10/13, will any of you B.C. members be there? Might punch one in the morning because Radical/DV8/...

Re: What ball jig is this?

I've been asked to do some drilling where I bowl league. I have minimal experience as I drilled my own gear for a couple of years in my basement. The press I had was very basic and had a x-y jig where you had to release the ball to reposition it. I'll admit that I was pretty much spot on with my dr...

Re: Positive axis

So I have a lot of bowling balls with different layouts. When measuring my pap each ball seems to be different dispite them being drilled with same span, finger and thump pitches. Kind of confused right now so any help would be great. Thanks They should be close. Why not post them (ball, layout, PA...

Re: The TRUTH About Top Weight

Why dont you put a number or a range on it then? I hope you read the USBC ball motion study. BallMotionResults.PNG That # is a mathematical calculation of how far the center of mass can be moved within a ball compared to how far the COM can be moved by using the allowable mass properties of the bal...

Sorry about the "junk" reference. I do respect the chemists, but I'm not thrilled with the incomplete marketing rhetoric on the bottle. Here's an example of the embossed areas created by the cleaning chemical after 2 minutes of contact, but the reaction begins almost immediately. Storm, E...

Re: DV8 Damn Good Hook! = melted coverstock

Re: DV8 Damn Good Hook! = melted coverstock

Interesting! I just received an e mail from Powerhouse that mentions their three cleaners. They say Energizer & Clean and Dull do not affect length, back end or total hook but Power Wash does not affect length but does increase back end and total hook. Yet Power Wash is approved for use during ...

Re: DV8 Damn Good Hook! = melted coverstock

Time to understand USBC regs on ball cleaners. The USBC uses a dam to hold the cleaner in contact with the ball for a predetermined time. They remove the dam and the cleaner they put in it and measure the hardness of the ball. If the ball softened, it's not legal to use it during competition. If th...

FYI I was cleaning belt marks off my bowling balls on the spinner with the aforementioned DV8 ball cleaner earlier today. I had just sprayed it on the ball and had to answer the phone. When I got back to the spinner 5 minutes later, I found that the cleaner had melted a mottled pattern into the sur...

Re: MF and RF tearing up

Have a bowler here that the tip of both fingers (MF & RF) just on the pinkie side of each finger are getting tore open after about 2 games. I am thinking it is a lateral pitch issue but would like some other thoughts on what happening. Assuming he's right handed, add 1/8"Right pitch to bot...

Re: Layout question for strongest ball - Asym

Hi all. In general, for the strongest ball in your arsenal (Asym), is it best to layout with larger or smaller VAL angles from your standard layout? Or is it the angle sum and ratio that matters more? I am looking for strong, but controlled motion. The Asyms seem to give me more trouble I think. I ...

If the proshop gets it wrong, and many will, the ball will not look good in comparison to those that are drilled optimally.

The Paradox has a larger Intermediate Differential .015 and .057 Total Differential The Nirvana intermediate diff .013 and total differential .054 By comparing those numbers the Paradox is more asymmetrical so will naturally be more angular at the break. Also the factory surface is 500/2000 also ad...
