Loaded Revolver with weaker drilling?
« on: April 19, 2011, 09:30:05 AM »
How would a Loaded Revolver react with a 5.5" pin to PAP distance, pin over? Box surface. I'm a stroker, 275-300 RPM, 15 MPH ball speed.

I haven't seen anyone  using this yet, but the professional reviewers, BTM and BJI, seem to think it's kind of a flippy ball. So unless you very "firm" ball speed, if you want to try a long pin to PAP (5.5"), I'd tend you believe you should use a lower pin either at or below the level of the fingers. A high pin is likely to make a flippy ball more flippy and hard to controllable. Just a thought.

I drilled my Loaded relatively weak, because I have problems with flippy balls. Pin is down underneath the bridge (roughly 5 to Pap ) with the Cg kicked about 2 inches from center of grip with a low hole. I have loved this ball in the 3 months I've had it.  It has a smooth move more arching then skid flip but has the plenty of recovery after errant shots(I throw quite a few of those.) After speaking to my driller about the current shot in our house and the lack of a need for a "Hook Monster"  We decided this was the best course of action. Have to say it was a great decision.
