Drilling information C system alpha max
« on: March 04, 2011, 10:56:10 PM »
I recently purchased an Alpha max c system and am eagerly anticipating drilling it.

 

I am less than an expert in the dual angle drilling technique and wanted to make sure that what I had in mind and what I expect the ball to do are consistent.

 

Quite simply, I want to punch it out 45x5x45, pin down and a weight hole in P3...I am hoping that the ball reads early and transitions in the backend quickly. I have some tournaments upcoming and THS are not in the schedule. I, as many others, have no trouble scoring when the burn comes, however, fresh has always been a problematic area and I pray that this ball is my answer.

 

My PAP is 5 1/4 over and 1/8 up, 16 - 17mph off my hand and 350 - 400rpm.

 

Any comments/advice that can be offered are appreciated

Ragu, with that layout you will probably need a weight hol to make it legal. If you use inserts you may be able to get enough weight out by drilling the fingers deeper where needed. With this layout, the CG will be above the midline and about 1.5" to the right of the centerline. You can drill the ring finger deeper and maybe get enough wieght out to avoid a hole. If you can't, you can try going like 4.5" right and 1" up from the center of your grip and putting a small hole there. I had to do this on a Wild Ride a couple of years ago.  Worked out fine and it really didn't change the reaction much.
