Ric Hamlin...................................
« on: April 05, 2005, 02:00:58 PM »
The drill pattern you said would work on oily lanes
with the Pin in the center of the grip with the CG kicked out
hole 6-3/4 down, would that particular pattern work for a
high track player and rev challenged??

Ric,

I need a little help on this one too, I found a used Erase-IT PBT on the used ball rack, plugged and drilled up this layout, this ball just goes lonnnng, with a very smoth arc, but I dont see it reading any midlane at all.  I have about 1" flare maybe LOL.

My PAP 5 1/2 over 3/4 up, track about 1" left of finger and thumb.  about 350 rpm, 10* tilt, 30-45* rotation and roughly 16mph.

I know this layout is not really good for me coz I dont have much rev, but I see it wanna try it, test it out.  I think all drillers have the same kind of sickness.LOL

Thanks Bear for the Response.

Ric: This is for my dad actually. His Pap is about 5 to 5-1/2.
His track starts out about 2 to 2.5 inches from his fingers and one inch from his thumb. He has a 230 rev rate or a little less, 60 to 90 degree axis tilt (3/4 roller)and throws 13 to 15 mph. His weakness is heavy heads and mids and getitng the ball back at the end when they are tight.

A lot of his equipment is laid out pin under ring with the cg kicked out in the thumb quadrant with a x-hole low. This helps his ball get in a roll early but the ball arcs in the back.

I'm not sure if a label higher pin layout will help him more or maybe an axis lev layout.

It is more so the fingers that will hit with the flare, as far as a "safe" PAP, Ric would know better. If I had to guess anything past 5 1/8th-5 1/4" is cutting it close.

If you're inverted, pretty much forget about it!
