    Default Question for Pro Drillers about the TRIBAL ball

    My new tribal ball is very flipie , the last few feet! I do need a balance hole, where should it be in order to take some of that left turn out of it! Motiv Tribal

    1. Surface prep?? It comes I believe with a 2000,,,, what would a 4000 do to the movement! It gets through the heads fine, just too much hook at the end.

    2. I do need a balance hole, where on this ball would you put it to not destroy it movement, but tame it down?

    Just take it to your driller and let them determine exactly where to place the balance hole? You weren't intending on doing yourself were you?

    Default Should I wait, or Poo!! LOL

    hummmm after a few seconds of deep thought, maybe I should wait a few more games before I make an adjustment with a balance hole or even surface.

    I think I have heard that there is a breaking in period, for balls? How many games, I wonder, would that be?

    That's nice, but leave it to the pro's who can make sure your ball will do what you want it to. If you insist on doing yourself, I am sure there are plenty videos on youtube to get you in the right direction.

    There is a breaking in period. at least with every ball I have owned.

    for me it's usually 15 games or so.

    To reduce backend reaction you add surface rather than going smoother so 1500 rather than 4000 if the current surface is 2000.

    To reduce reaction you woudl go with a P1 hole. but I would go with surface changes first.... those are alot easier to change your mind about later
    PAP - 6 1/4 1/8 up
    speed 16-16.5 monitor
    ~400-450 revs

    Default Surface first then hole makes sense

    so by going down rather then up, you are burning up energy before the snap? Makes sense!

    Default You got more spunk, the Carter has Liver Pills!

    Question:I've heard this saying used by my parents many times over. When I search for it on the internet, it shows that it's used quite a bit but I still don't see a meaning behind it. It's right up there with "best thing since sliced bread" and "slow as molasses." Please provide some sort of data on this. Thanks!

    Answers:
    It was a Very heavily-advertised patent medicine, which lasted perhaps into the 1960s. Carter's Little Liver Pills became Carter's Little Pills when the FTC made the point that these pills did nothing for the liver. The new name had less appeal, and the brand faded away. Carter's Little Liver Pills, had been developed in the 1870's by Dr. Samuel J. Carter, a druggist in Erie, PA
