Title: 3-3/8 by 3-3/8 or 3-3/8 x 5........
Post by: Monster Stitch on April 15, 2005, 08:07:47 AM
Which one has a harder backend?

I am planning on drilling a raging inferno for
my dad who is a high track player. I think these
layout would be a good start.

Let me know?

Jonathan....  3 3/8 will be stronger at the spot no doubt...if he throws fast...consider kicking the cg OUT towards his pap....slower....go with 3 3/8 x 5 ....if he wants it ALL POWER....go 3 3/8 x 3 3/8s....

there's a lot of variables here that were' not discussing...but ...this should be a  decent start...good luck

I would go with a 3 3/4 x 5.

Dave: So it would be more like a 4 x 3-3/8 in a way.
To give you more info on my dad, he throws the ball
betweeen 13 and 15, 60 to 90 degree axis tilt, so
he's a high tracker in a way, and has a low rev rate.
Kind of like a old school 3/4 ball but rolls up normally
if he come up clean. ANother example would be a suit case
like release. If you come up straight it rolls strong but
if you come over it a little bit which he does when he pops
up it creates skid.

Jonathan -- I think you're mixed up on your tilt measurement.  A high tracker has low axis tilt.  The tilt you're giving us would be for a spinner.  Go to the buddiesproshop.com site - they have a procedure for determining tilt from the track diameter.  Or you could be mixing up tilt and rotation.  --  JohnP

Your right John. When i think about it, his tilt ain't that much.

Sorry. I want to drill the ball today so everyone, give me their insights.

Its a symetrical ball. It wont make any difference unless you plan to add a balance hole.

Well it all depends on what your dad wants the ball for(lane condition).

How he throws it is the most important factor.  Too many bowlers want a skid/snap reaction, but they do not posess the physical ability or ball rotation to yeild such a reaction.
