Layout help
« on: June 22, 2006, 01:50:59 PM »
I am working to find what drilling works best for me.  I recently changed my release a bit and I now have the following specs.

Axis point: 4 3/4" over and 1 3/8" up
Speed: 17 mph
Revs: medium
Axis tilt: 10 degrees

My span is short so quite often I have drillings with the pin above the fingers.  My span is 3 25/32 x 3 24/32 cut to cut.  Is this normal?  Can pin under layouts work for me as well?

What layouts should I consider for length/snap and for control type layouts.  I am trying to build a six ball arsenal to compete on PBA regional patterns.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Chuck

Finding what layouts work for you is a time consuming thing and can be costly.  I read a great article in BTM about setting up an arsenal.  Well one of the guys view on setting up an arsenal goes like this.

For a 6 ball arsenal use 2 different layouts.

SET 1: A ball for heavy, med and light oil all drilled with a power stacked layout for when more hook and power on the back end is needed.

SET 2: A ball for heavy, med and light oil all drilled with a lable layout for when more control is needed.
