BW Question

[PackRat]

I prefer to throw a ball that has a little earlier reaction and an arching track to the pocket.

On the low end of what would be considered medium ball speed. High Track with decent rev's. 14#

Question is: Does anyone have their BW drilled for this type of reaction, and if so how do you like it?

I also throw a high track with decent revs. My BW is drilled all purpose layout, and I love it. It gives me a very predictable roll and great carry in the pocket.

I am with Ray. With pin below fingers the BW gets the start on hooking pretty early but still has energy to continue hooking into the pocket. All purpose #2 on my BW.

I have my BW drilled skid/flip and I throw down/in with probably around the same revs and speed as you. throwing down the second arrow gives me a decent arc to the pocket, I get this b/c the widow drinks so much oil and dries out the line quickly so the energy of the ball is being used all the way down the lane instead of skidding and then releasing the energy. i bowl on a house shot and have bowled a couple of times on a sport but have had to lower my ball speed for that reaction. I have also thrown with fresh oil on stripped back-ends and it just snapped like a bastard but it broke in the same spot every time and that is when i threw my high-game of 277. whichever drilling you choose im sure you will be happy, this ball is very versatile as long as you keep the right speed.

I tend to agree with you. I can throw a variety of shots with this thing and hit the pocket. The only caution to heed is watch out for dry lanes!
