 Tom Blasco's Expert Bowling Tips
Ball Reaction Elements02/27/2001 - By Tom Blasco
All of us as bowlers are interested. All of us ask the same questions relating to the importance of ball reaction elements. Here is a listing I've been accumulating for over 5 years relative to this subject and in the order of importance, as I review them. Trust me I didn't dream them up, they come from numerous repetiable sources doing this much longer than I have.
- Cover stock
- Surface (Highly Aggressive, Very Aggressive, Mild) (Dull or Shiny)
- Sanding
- Solids vs. Pearls
- Track Flare (Axis Migration) (High Flare vs. Low Flare Balls)
- Bowler's Style (Boomer, Tweener, Stroker and all those in between)
- RG Factor (High RG vs Low RG)
- Differential
- Core Torque (High, Medium, Low)
- Bowler Created Torque
- Axis Tilt and Axis Rotation
- Other Ball Applications
- Balance Holes (Tilted or Straight) (On or Below Axis or Equator)
- Top Weight
- Center of Gravity (CG)
- Pin In vs. Pin Out
- Mass Bias
- Static Weights
- General Ball Knowledge (Lenght, Back End, Hook)
- Deceleration
- Drilling the Ball
- Ball Reaction Generalities (Based on Bowlers Style and his bag of tricks)
