Understanding Ball Reaction & Building an Arsenal

TThe Ball has Hitting Power TThe Bowler has area on the lane TThe Bowler is in their Comfort Zone Only TWO Factors Create BAD Ball Reaction

TThe Ball is Rolling/Hooking Too Soon TThe Ball is Rolling/Hooking Too Late

 What Bowler Traits makes a ball SKID or ROLL  What Traits of the Ball makes it SKID or ROLL

 To Have…  The Right Ball  With the Proper Surface  With the Proper Drilling Layout  All of which matches up with your style and the Lane Condition.

Bowler Traits… Skid Created by… –Side Roll –Low Track –Fast Speed –Low Revs –Lofting –Find the Oil Early Roll Created by... Forward Roll High Track Slow Speed High Revs No Loft Find the Dry

 Locate where the Bowler Tracks (PAP) Bowler’s Rev Rate and Ball Speed  Bowler’s Axis of Rotation  10 Degree or 45 Degree or 90 Degree

5 ½” PAP (3/4 Roller)3 ½” PAP (Spinner)

 Place a piece of tape on the positive side of the ball. Move the tape around until it locks up in the front part of the lane.  Notice the angle the direction the tape is facing when released.  There are three basic positions  0 to 30 degree  30 to 60 degree  60 to 90 degree

 Prefers oily fronts and drier backends  Early roll with minimal backend reaction.  Weaker drillings recommended  Polished surface usually best  Prefers down & in  Excels on Wet/Dry

 Adapts to most lane conditions  Produces medium length and backend reaction  Driller friendly release, versatile.  Prefers a track shot

 Prefers drier fronts  Maximum length with strong backend reaction  Strong “roll” drillings recommended  Can use more surface  Excels on deep inside line

Bowling Ball Traits… Skid Created by… –S10 Cover –Polish Cover –High Rg –Low Diff. –Weak Drillings Early Roll Created by... S90 Cover Dull Cover Low Rg High Diff. Strong Drillings

 3 key components In order of importance:  Surface Friction (Coverstock & Finish)  Core Dynamics (Rg & Differential)  Drill pattern (Weak, Medium, Strong Layouts)

 The single most important factor in getting the most out of your ball is the surface preparation. Out of the box finish is simply a starting point and should be adjusted to match the lane conditions, ball speed etc.

Matching Bowler with Ball… If you are… “Skid” –Side Roll –Fast Speed –Low Revs –Lofting –Find the Oil You need... “Early Roll” S90 Cover Dull Cover Low Rg High Diff. Strong Drillings

Matching Bowler with Ball… If you are… “Early Roll” Forward Roll Slow Speed High Revs No Loft Find the Dry You need... “Skid” S10 Cover Polished Cover High Rg Low Diff. Weak Drillings

 Drilling patterns are determined by the following  Positive Axis Point  Degree of Axis Rotation  Ball Speed & Rev Rate

The Importance of the Positive Axis Point (PAP) 5 ½” PAP (3/4 Roller)3 ½” PAP (Spinner)

 0 to 30 Degree  Use Polished surfaces  Higher Top Weights  Pins at least 4 inches from Positive Axis Point  Medium to Higher Radius of Gyration Balls  Medium Flare Potential Balls (Medium Diffs)  Prefers Oil up front and Dry Backends
