Has any one used a 4 inch 135 or 4 inch 155 with success?
-
I recently put a 4" pin-to-pap/135 on a used Messenger Titanium black/gold pearl. Pin is above the fingers. Statics came out 5/8 finger and 5/8 negative. I expected this ball to be fairly weak but, holy cow, is that thing strong. It gets down the lane nicely, makes a BIG move to the pocket and hits the pins HARD. I love it even though I am confused by the reaction. When compared to my 4x4 Heat with the same surface prep, the Ti is way stronger and I did not expect this to be the case. This is my first experiment with a 135* drilling, so I don't know if it's the drilling, the ball, the statics or a combo of all that make it so strong. I'm already looking to get another ball to put this drilling on. The reaction it gives me is awesome. Hope this helps.

how does the degree system work?

The degrees is the angle from the PAP to the pin to the CG. In an asym ball with a marked mass bias, use the MB mark instead of the CG. 135 degrees is typically something that looks like a label drill, but it would depend on where the pin in.

anyone else?

I did a 5&1/2" pin to pap, 135 degree drilling on an ebonite black ice. I either get a split or a strike. No in-between. If you are very accurate you can strike all night. If not,splits all night.
