Anyone in the Adrian, Jackson, Monroe Area interested in a TR2 with less than 10 games. I could trade for something.

Well not sure whats going on. On wood it seem to be way way to early...So I threw it 3-4 games and have changed it to 2000 and 4000 and on synthetic(two dif surfaces) It has been 60 feet of skid at 800 , 2000, and 4000. I drilled it very agressive and thought it was burning itself up but even at the dif grits it just didn't get it done. I think the GT1 is a far more versitile ball.
My dad has the TR2 also and his seems to flutter haha. Hes much better with the other equipment too.
Hard to believe I got a dud TR2 but I just didn't have any luck with it. How you doing Brett? Ready to get back out there. I am gonna hit 3 this year I think...Step alittle further in the pool haha.

What drilling and weight hole placement are you using on them?

I drilled it 3 3/8 from PAP. I wanted a very strong rolling ball. Like I said on wood it is really early and on synthetic, nothing. I have seen 3 other guys drilled similar in a synthetic house and even the Lefty can turn it more than me haha sorry Brett.

Get another one and try it at 4.75". The TR2 is a heavy rolling ball by nature, it doesn't need straight leverage to hook.
Do it up 40x30@4.75"

brettallenspangler wrote: Also, if it doesn't have an extra hole you might think about drilling one. I would either drill a small and deep hole with 1 1/4" pitch away from your grip or a hole on P3 or P4. This will further increase the differential, creating an even earlier read and less finish. A sizable hole on your axis(P1) will help reduce the diff and get the ball to retain a bit more energy.
That is one thing that is confusing about the gradient line, stronger isn't always better.

Yea I did throw it on Beaten Path at state a few times with no success but I may grab another and try the 4 1/2 out layout. I traded that TR2 for another ball and I went 665 with a 190 last night so not terrible. I still think the equipment is a winner.
Thanks Brett and Justin, You guys know of any Assymetrics in the works?
