Title: avalanche slide
Post by: Barbarian2990 on December 05, 2008, 07:35:35 AM: does anyone have this ball with pin above the finger like 4 1/2 to 5 would it be to weak? i have a twisted that i love with pin below fingers and about 4 inch from pap.my pap is 4 1/2 and 1/4 up with not sure how many revs maybe around 200 and 15mph ball speed. im wanting to play more up the boards on broken down to fried house shot would this ball be a good choice to be able to move right and stand in the dry like on 10 to a slight swing but still be able to recover?

FWIW, I have an Av Solid with a 5" pin-above layout that I use to play more direct on the burn. I also have a Slide drilled 4" above, and it's noticeably stronger than the Solid.
