Layout for an Orbit Extreme
« on: May 08, 2007, 11:21:21 AM »
I have one on the way and was looking for a layout.  I got this ball to bowl on dry to toast.  I have a lot of speed with med rev.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

Id say go with a weaker drill for the drier lanes. Something like 5 1/2 pin to pap with the cg somewhere in the positive side of your center grip.

with ALOT of speed and only med revs id try 4.5 to 5 with the cg kicked out and tune it with a weight hole...with the speed you will need the pin closer to help the ball pick up at some point in time...even on toast

The OE is not all that weak. Drill it with a high pin abot 5-6 inches from pap. If you want it for toast don't drill it strong.

get real already! (not insulting)

pin at 5" pin to PAP; height above the midline (know what that is? It DOES have an influence!) about 2.5- 3". CG in the grip center region.
