Title: Drilling layout
Post by: Storm269 on July 24, 2005, 07:51:38 PM

Hi I have a query on the drilling pattern and I hope someone here can help me... my normal ball drilling pattern is 2L but is wondering what will be the reaction of the ball if I am to drill it with the same pattern but with an off-centre CG. I am a down and in bowler. Thanks

ok the ball I saw belongs to a lady bowler and she is a lefty and the CG is shifted to the left.

Ace38, shifting the CG to the right (for a righty) from the center of the grip puts more positive sideweight into the ball and if I remember by Brunswick drill sheet right, drill pattern 2L has the Pin close to your ring finger.  This drilling will allow the ball to skid further down the lane before it picks up a roll, but it will have stronger backend reaction because of the placement of the CG.  So this will give you a more skid/snap reaction on the lane.  For a down and in bowler, this should work well for you if you are trying to open the lane up some because making the ball stronger will give you a more margin of error for the ball to recover to the pocket.  Hope this helps.

ceegee no matta(did I get that right)!

Ace, the pin positive has more effect than the moving the cg.  If you are looking for more length, try a 4L.  Good luck!
