Title: 10:30 drilling vs. 5x3
Post by: bowl868 on July 17, 2003, 03:14:34 AM

Are these similar drillings?  When I ask specific questions I want to make sure I get the terminology right.  Also, just to make sure what do the "5" and the "3" exactly mean when you say 5x3 drilling?  I have an idea, but want to make sure.

Thanks!

I use a digital watch but 5x3 means 5 inch pin to pap with the cg 3 inches from PAP.

Thanks for the info... at least I had my mind on the right track.  Now for a little followup question... are there better balls suited for 10:30 type drillings??  

I've had a Tidal Wave which I liked 5 years ago when I got it, but it ended up in the closet I think due to lack of oil at the time.  Then I had a blue TiBoss2 with a 10:30 and I didn't like it all.  From my observations the TiBoss2 was more of a skid/flippy ball, so I was wondering if the skid-flip nature fought with the 10:30 rolling arc nature and it just wasn't a good drill for that ball.  Possibly 10:30 drills are best suited for med-lower RG balls?

What brought up all my questions was... I pulled out the Tidal Wave to try on my oily scratch league shot for next year and it was outhooking my stacked V2Particle by 3-4 boards (the TWave had earlier revs and more backend), and my stacked Vicious was going straight.  I was thinking of replacing my Vicious (with  an Inferno, Raging Inferno, Reloaded, or Thing) because it really never worked the way I wanted (too much over/under, mostly under), but since it's lower RG, I was thinking of putting a 10:30 drill on it and maybe that would bring it to life and be a good compliment to the dull TWave which likes to hook early.  Thanks for listening...
