so removing sideweight actually causes the ball to pick up sooner and have a smoother breakpoint? interesting, I never actually realised that...nice vid, thanks!
yes this is true in most cases- think of it as 'storing energy longer'(more side weight) and 'losing energy sooner'(less side weight)... the trend today is to 'set' the ball at breakboint(this was first explored in the late 80's with monacelli), having the ball almost rolled-out as it reaches the pin. this type of ball reaction is highly sought after now as it is proven to have 99.9% carry and the smoothness of the break is predictable.
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.

hmmm...removing side weight...i have a full roller layout but not the release...would taking some side weight out cause an earlier roll in this case?
