Your PAP is 3 3/4" over (pretty low) and 3/4" down (inverted). The drilling he put on your Diamondback is pin 5 1/2" from PAP, CG 3 1/" from your PAP.

If you're track diameter is large, you have a small axis point, but stay behind the ball plenty to be effective. If you have a small track diameter, you spin the ball a lot. The large down characteristic leads me to guess that you probably don't spin it a bunch. The down part of your PAP means you track closer to your fingers than your thumb - slightly unusual, but not a problem.

Hmm Thanks alot.. I understood MOST of that

Are you saying my DB is drilled kind of weak? Or if not HOW is it drilled, I mean is it more drilled for a big arc, a good backend etc etc I did alot of testing today , and I threw my new T zone, we took some measurements, got my PAP and then checked out my rev... Im around 16-16.5 mph ball speed and 320-330 rev. So i actually do have alot of hand on the ball, so I dunno why My DB was drilled the way it was... ( fyi the DB was drilled by a different guy than the one who got my PAP today and figured out my rev rate )

The guy today also thought ( while watching me throw both balls ) the lanes were to dry for my DB and that i put so much hand in it, it was actually "rolling out" <--

But he suggested My next heavy oil ball be a polished ball along the lines of a reign, python, rattler etc... I want a nice HUGE hooking ball but he said with the way im throwing it, Ill have way to much spin on it.. Which tells me one of 2 things.. My ball speed is to slow and/orIm not doing something right.. Because I see guys on youtube and such throwing 17 mph with a 325-350 rev rate , and it works great..

SO I think there is a part to all this I am missing..

So can any big brunswick guys tell me why my driller is suggesting that I NOT get a 3.5? He said with the amount of spin I have with my ball speed it would hook like crazy.. Well thats kind of what i want , I have the solid, that hooks nice on medium oil in the DB, So now I want a heavy oil heavy hooking ball..

He suggested I use the DB as the first ball out of the bag to try the lanes, then decide from there, But he recommended I get a polished, to match the Matte DB, for something a little different.. He said the python or rattler, the storm reign etc etc , Balls that I didnt think had the type of hook I was looking for .. Am I missing something?
