I drilled a Pure Swing a couple months ago, after talking it over with my pro shop guy and taking a look at other pieces in my arsenal he suggested we go Double Thumb to get me a different look than what I had with my other stuff.
Well long story short, this just hasnt been as much ball as i expected. I was expecting it to be a tad under my Virtual Gravity strength wise and it is nowhere close.
What I expected was a ball that was strong throughout the whole lane, what I ended up with is a ball that is for Medium oiled lanes at best. I have tried the cover at various surfaces, and as a last resort Im gonna try taking it 500, 1000, then some polish and see if it helps. Also, it has been in a Rejuvinator so its not oil soaked.
I guess my questions is, was this a poor choice of ball to try a DBL Thumb layout?
In general my specs are:
Ball Speed: 17-18 Qubica
Rev rate: 400-425 rpm
Axis Rotation: Med-High
Axis Tilt: Medium

Re: Pure Swing w/ Dbl Thumb layout...
The Pure Swing was a medium ball by design. The Full Swing was the more aggressive ball in that line. Add surface to ball, without polish, and see how it rolls. The core specs were 2.52 RG, a .056 Diff and a .015 intermediate Diff so it has a decent engine.

How confident are the PAP measurements you used?
How large is the weight hole?

Re: Pure Swing w/ Dbl Thumb layout...
Pure Swing is Not a Hook Monster is a good med-light to med heavy ball but with you rev you should be able to use it on heavy Oil lane.
what Pin distance on the swing? and hole big and deep is the Hole?

Re: Pure Swing w/ Dbl Thumb layout...
Remember this ball does not have a super cover like your virtual gravity so its not gonna be close. Coverstock and prep are 75% of ball reaction...

Re: Pure Swing w/ Dbl Thumb layout...
The pin distance is 4.5". My pap is 5" over and .5" down.
This places the pin above my ring finger, and the hole is 3/4".
What im seeing is kinda what others have said, its just not a hook monster. It is getting a decent ammount of flare, im just not seeing that strong movement that I have seen with other balls/bowlers using that drilling. Im still gonna try polishing it a tad to see if i can get a little more pop on the back from it.

Re: Pure Swing w/ Dbl Thumb layout...
Or, you could use this pure swing for medium conditions when you need that look and then get a ball with a super cover like a storm marvel, full swing, Morich destroyR or RipR, or even a roto grip theory with the db as some suggestion to use on the heavier stuff?stopncrank wrote:The pin distance is 4.5".
