also something everyone whould know is that studies were done with a clear barrel and the studies showed that the ball only traveled the first 8-12 inches of the barrel and that everything after the first 12 inches only slows the ball down

also sometimes you get balls that do corkscresws and curve here and there when they come out those are caused by gaps between the ball and the inside of the barrel. air cups the ball and pushes it out of the barrel any gaps that exist allow air to push the ball in a different direstion in the barrel. for example if there is a gap in the barrel between the ball and inside of the barrel the air will push it up the side of the barrel and make it do a corkscrew inside the barrel. the ball will follow the pattern as it comes out ot the barrel. ultimately this is caused by a bad match between the ball size and the barrel size
