New Ball

[striker12]

yes i do have 4 freeze's but they are all drilled different for different oil conditions 1 is drilled for length with a strong arc went for light-med oil i cna throw it when they lanes are dry or major burt out my other is drilled for length with a sharp backend ment for medium oil another is for controllable hook which i can use on any oil condition on then dry but it reacts really come paired to the ball thats drilled for length with a sharpback and my last one is drilled for massive hook i cna use it on long and heavy oil patterns the freeze u can drill anyway and it will work....


aed2784 u dont want to get a ball that u have already redrilled caus they will afect the hook cause it wont be fully ballance properly but u can get another ball just get it drilled different like if your thinking of alongoil pattern get massive hook layout or if it long but mediumoil get length with a sharp backend it works good at first dose not look like its going to movein but it jsut snaps back in and hits the pins hard

main thing look for layouts that u can use on lots of patterns like i did with my freeze its a entry lvl ball and i can throwi like a high performance ball just on how i changed the layout and the grid i always go to 1000 abalon on my freeze other then my one thats drilled for length with a strong arc its factory finish but then i dont put factory inish polish on after i ut the ball to 1000 abalon i will a glaze polish on soo it abit polished abit dull and still has that smooth carry down the lane and a bigmove to the pocket

Thanks 1820! I had the one of the big guys in my pro shop look at how I threw the ball and what kind of down lane reaction I was getting out of it, just to see if he needed to make any adjustments. He drilled my 2fast and that ball was, actually still is, working really well for me so I trusted his decision. He redrilled it just a tad but didn't move the pin. The ball is doing exactly what I want it to, that is if I throw it right!! I think I have the right equipment now. All I have to work on is the consistancy in my approach and release.

Striker,

To me it looks like you have to change the finish on your balls a whole lot depending on what type of pettern you are throwing on. You said some of them you have to either dull down and polish up. Does that have any long term effects on the cover stock?

aed no it dose not do nothing do the cover stoke as long as u use to correct stuff the main thing is abolon (how ever u spell it) and just give it alittle duff then polish it if u have to i get the proshop to do the big changes but if im at the lanes bowling then i do it but i got my own factory finsih polish but i dont like useing it much it makes the ball slid but my pro shop has this thing dont know what it is but it jsut gives alitte glaze of polish on the ball for that nice backend move and good slid down the lane but also i cant throw a ball thats out of box cause i got too much speed and to much revs that most of the balls jsut get no grip soo thats why i bring the grid down abit to give it some teeth on the lanes
