Experimenting with the Dual Angle Layout
« on: September 06, 2009, 01:40:53 AM »
I bought a Roto-Grip Empire second off of bowlingball.com on the cheap.  I recently started laying out my equipment using Mo Pinel's dual angle layout.  I decided to try a layout that would promote a faster rev with more forward roll.  I took it with me yesterday to the lanes when I was shooting some video of other balls.  I only got off a few shots before my battery ran out of juice, but put together a video in an attempt to show what the layout was designed to do.  Any constructive criticism is welcome as I'm still trying to learn how to read the reaction of my equipment and I'm not sure if what I think the ball is doing is accurate.  Thanks.

leftyinsnellville,

I believe it's more the lane condition looks to be a THS that is veiling the way the ball rolls.  I believe you'd have to find a house that has a flatter less walled up shot to see the intended ability of the layout.  Also, why most video's look the same when the ball is going down the lane no matter what the intention of the player.

I would say you got what you were looking for. I drilled a Wild Ride same way, looking for same reaction (and got it). You name all the pros of this layout, cons are (for me) is lower flare potential and less mistake room for sending it out. I haven't altered the coverstock or put a weight hole, balancing these options could help create a benchmark ball.
