Layout suggestions for Groove urethane
« on: July 04, 2008, 03:51:21 PM »
My Groove urethane just arrived yesterday, the specs are: 15lb 3oz, 4oz topweight with 1" Pin to CG. Also the core is not pancake anymore, its a bullet shape weight block around 3" diameter x 2" up. And cover is high gloss polished

What layout should I use? coz its 1" pin to CG. Stacked like layout 2E or 4E? considering that its a urethane ball. Pin above bridge or ? Angle?

Keep in mind that the lane condition is 33-34 ft, medium-heavy volume in the middle, very clean backend, Also I like to play around the track area and my PAP 5.5 x 7/8 up. I prefer smooth arc reaction to pocket not that too snappy movement. Any suggestions is welcomed

Well, since the ball is a urethane, you won't see much snap out of it at all really. I would just drill it with something basic, and don't go too fancy.

Also, was there a new Groove Urethane released with this new core you speak of? I must've missed something, because I have yet to hear about this. Let me know, and I hope I helped! Thanks!

New core?  That core probably isn't going to be a vast step away from the pancake core of the 70's that is in almost every spare ball...

Yep, that's what I told him. I suggested putting the CG as high as possible and to max out the reaction, as small as it will be, place it halfway between grip center and his PAP and use a weight hole to make it legal. Side, top and finger weight will have their effect here.
