Re: Surface adjustment advice

So without specific details of what you’re doing, I’d assume your surface is more in the range of 4500+ of lane shine. With the Halo core being more rollier, straight through the fronts with bigger backend is going to be more speed related. It’s a stand left, throw right type ball. If you want it to...

Re: Surface adjustment advice

How often are you resurfacing? Every 3, 6 games? I’d let it lane shine and see if you like that reaction, then freshen up when it goes too long

That’s just the governing body they play, doesn’t mean they’re not clubs (Mckendree Men’s is USBC and Women’s is NAIA)

Re: Surface adjustment advice

What ball are you using? Unless you’ve tried low flare layouts, most balls aren’t going to be consistent in a wet dry scenario without moving into the oil.

Re: Axis rotation and tilt

Needs to be from behind and lower to the ground, check the Wiki for the how to. But looks like 90 rotation and very low tilt

Re: Modifying Two-Handed Technique

They’d need a video to see what you’re doing from the side and back views. Kyle Troup seems to be the most upright out there.

Re: Grip Pressure, Tape, and Optimal Mechanics

I can add more tape to the top but it starts to feel uncomfortable on my hand. Almost like it’s changing my span which I thought was a myth but idk. I have an appointment to try more forward pitch which I’ve never done. Adding forward will slow the thumb coming out of the ball, I’d only do it if yo...

How is this if the ball slowly comes off your thumb with hand on top of ball?

Re: Grip Pressure, Tape, and Optimal Mechanics

There’s gonna be a need for a little pressure at the base of your thumb and force the thumbnail against the back of the ball, the key is to relax on the down swing

For a house shot, I like the Nuclear Cell. Tournament I would want something not as Jumpy on the backend

Re: Clipping thumb hole late

I’d say a larger drill angle and shorter Pin to Pap to retain tilt, I’d try less surface first

Re: Sym vs Asym

Eric, have you had the chance to see the Rubicon’s? Like to know your thoughts since they’re coming out with cores that are supposed to act like symmetricals with weight holes.

Re: Sym vs Asym

Ok. But isn't the player supposed to make his ball hit later when his tilt will be lower? Can you explain why this happens? In short pin to pap balls, isn't the core already near the most stable position ? Doesn't that mean that the axis and tilt will get low fast? Thanks ! 1. High tilt players nat...
