Jason, it was more than drool when I saw the Marauder being this weeks giveaway. Of course if DV8 was smarter they would just give me an amateur sponsorship and I would be all set lol

I just looked up the Pearl Panther Pink bowling ball. It's actually not bad =P. Pretty nice color scheme, absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about (if you are)!!

Names and colors don't matter. It's just funny that the female had the Hell Raiser while the guy had the Pink Panther. Not sure that's how the marketing departments saw that.

I believe I will have a lot of fun with it and maybe itll be one of my go to balls... Now the decision on how to get it drilled lol

eugene02
08-28-2012, 05:32 AM
normally i don't fret on how to drill because i don't know any layouts myself.. so i just leave it to my pro shop to do. i just tell him how i want the ball to act.. and he'll do it.. heee!

Keithalw
08-28-2012, 06:02 AM

I just got to take it to the guy who is drilling it and guess tell him what I want it to do... any suggestions? My mission 2.o is drilled long and strong

Keithalw
09-02-2012, 07:33 PM
Well I just dropped the dv8 off at a guys house to get drilled up... I am hoping he will bedone tonight so I can practice if not itll suck but I will be bale to throw it tomorrow...

Keith, do me a favor and ask what layout he drilled the ball to and what PAP.
I just layed out my Terror yesterday and had it drilled. I went with a 50x4x30 with a PAP 3 7/8 over 1/4 down. I used a clean ball Friday with my new release to obtain that PAP. This ball works freaking great for me all over the lane. Hope yours works just as well. I'm asking to learn more about matching layouts to bowlers.

Keithalw
09-02-2012, 09:37 PM
I will ask him bill...he might know my pap I dunno cause he did a lot more talk measuring and looking at the balls than the other guy did... I know he said he wants to watch me bowl a few times to see my track and where i release and stuff... he basicly said he likes to know how his customers bowl that way when i want a ball I can ship it to him tell him what I want done and e can get it done and I pick it up from there lol... but I will ask him bout the layout

Keithalw
09-03-2012, 07:34 PM
Unfortunatly bill he wasnt able to tell me the technical stuff... in just the last 24 hours of dropping my ball over there and picking it up I learned a hell of a lot from him that the local pro shop at the house wont tell you... and I mean just that Wont. He said he drilled it how I told him to and according to how I told him I bowled... he said he has been working a lot lately(drilling is a side job thing out of his house) that he gets a day off or whatever he wants to watch me bowl and see my bowling that way he can get the PAP and any ball I get in the furture he would know all that...

09-04-2012, 02:09 PM
Unfortunatly bill he wasnt able to tell me the technical stuff...

Whoa I don't think I'd want him drilling my equipment if he can not tell
you the technical stuff like if he drilled it say 40x4x50 or say 30x4.5x30
or whatever. I never drill a ball for someone without telling and showing
them before I clean the grease pencil lines off how I laid it out so he must
have done what I call a safe drill on it if he doesn't have your PAP.

There is a safe area/zone on balls that lets you get close without knowing
someones PAP but if you really want a fine tuned ball you must have/know
the persons PAP without it you may not get the reaction out of the ball with
your release that you were looking for.

Just ask billf about the PAP being off and then getting it right and having a
much better ball reaction for his release.

Keithalw
09-04-2012, 03:24 PM
Yeah 300 he doesnt have my PAP and I never knew it... He is a new guy I started going to and thats why I said he ants to watch me bowl to see my style and also to get my PAP I would suppose. He told me the same thing you just said about have a fine tune ball by knowing PAP.

got_a_300
09-05-2012, 07:04 AM
Yeah knowing someones PAP means a world of difference in how
their ball is going to react for them after it is drilled. There are so
many different ways to lay out a ball for each individual by knowing
their PAP to make the same ball do a lot of different things. You can
lay the same 2 kinds of balls out differently one can be laid out weak
while the other can be laid out aggressive or very aggressively by just
knowing the persons PAP.

The new guy may be an alright driller then if he wants to watch you
throw a few shots and then get your PAP before he drills any more
balls for you.
