Keeping the pins low for more carry?

[MICHAEL]

The Storm Lucid can be a very versatile ball. With the OOB matte finish, it starts earliers than the Anarchy and can work through heavy oil. With polish, the Lucid gets through the heads clean and stores energy well - but it more controlled (less angular) than the Anarchy in the backend, and in my opinion hits better. One of the things I really noticed was how the pins stay low to carry more of those corner pins.

My question is this: How can a ball, (this was written about the New Storm Lucid ball), keep the pins low? I would think that has to do more with speed and maybe angle then design of ball ball?

Okay Mike I've heard this statement many times over the years about this ball or that ball too. I never thought about, till you said something and what does it mean.

So after doing some research I have a answer to what keeps the pins low. ready now it's.... Gravity.

Yes, gravity is what keeps them low.

Here's from where I asked Mo Pinel:

Ques. What is suppose to be keeping the pins low? is it some property of the ball? or the angle, speed of the ball as it hits? Or is it just marketing?

Answer:The balls doesn't keep the pins low; GRAVITY DOES!!! The rest is BULL PUCKY!!!!!

I thought it might just be B.S!! lol,,, but then why lie? It was part of the hype used in the new Lucid advertising! LOL I do think one thing that does keep them lower it Ball speed period!!

Lol, One of the best answers i ever heard.

The only time i see pins keep low is when the someone rolls slow.

Wait, so you mean there is no magic ball out there that always keeps the pins low? I thought the Virtual Gravity actualy created a gravity field that pulls the pins down.

Hummmm,,, My Virtual Gravity does create a force field! You might check the batteries!!!!

It only makes sense! The slower the speed, the lower the pins will fly! Yes, Iceman had the answer! I do think that there is a optimum speed that each type of bowler can throw his Magic Low Pin trajectory ball in order to get maximum pin displacement! ( I did have physics 105 – 106 in College!) Iceman is no block of Ice!!! Try out different speeds, you will find that when that PERFECT speed is reached, you scores will defiantly go UP,,, while the pins go Down! Lol

It's obvious that Storm puts extra gravity in the Lucid. When it hits the pins, the extra gravity makes the pins stay low. I think it's a shame that the USBC has done NOTHING to regulate the amount of gravity that companies are putting in to their balls.

Is Mo a straight shooter or what? I enjoy going over to his forums and reading all his replies.
