ANyone who has messed around with teh dual angle layouts, what are the best combinations youve found for what shot you want?

I am not sure what you mean by a dual angle layout? Please explain.

Its mo pinel's new drilling method. You take a drilling angle, your pap, and a val angle to simplify your layouts. I believe there is a post on here somewhere about the whole process. Pretty much the sum of teh angles should not be any lower than 30 degrees or more than 160 degrees.

How does it differ from Denny Torgeson's degree layout system?

From another post:
dual angle layout technique
you need 3 things
1) A drilling angle
2) a distance from the positive axis point (PAP)
3) an angle between the pin to PAP line and the vertical axis line(VAL)

Uses an additional angle. Not only do you have the angle between the pin/mb line and your PAP, but also an angle between your pin/PAP line and the VAL.

perpindicular to the VAL from the pin?
The two angles are measured.. Where?

The first angle is the drilling angle. This is not new.
Then comes the pin-PAP distance. This is not new.
Then comes the pin-PAP line to VAL line degree measurement. This is remotely new.
To get the last angle, draw a line from the pin to the PAP. Then measure the angle to the VAL. A smaller angler will place the pin closer to the VAL, while a larger angle will place the pin further away.
Hope this helps. About "which is the best" or "what has been successful"...it really all depends. There is no "one" or "best" drilling. To each his own, my friend.

To me, this method seems to be quite straight forward and simple (much like Storms' method of using the "pin buffer"). However, the make it practical, a chart or table or some other information relating the dual angles needs to be available to give drillers an idea of what a 45deg/75deg layout will do for you (or 10deg/90deg, etc, etc)...
I guess you need to go to a seminar for that information

So, what does the 2nd angle tell you Strapper?

It sounds like the dual angle method is pretty much the same as using the Pin Buffer method as on Storm's drill sheets. Except angles are used (with a Pro Sect) instead of drawing circles thus eliminating the need for a compass.

We have been using it and just pick the angles and pin distance you would like for the reaction you want the bowler to have.
I works, some of the layouts look odd but they work.

i know there is no one that is best i just wanted to know which ones you guys liek so far?

Essentially how far the pin will be located from the VAL. The larger the angle, the further the pin will be away and the smaller the angle, the closer. With the Storm layout method, pins closer to the VAL (< 1.5") give more length/backend, while pins further away from the VAL (> 3") give an earlier reaction/smoother backend.

I'm not sure yet. I just read Mo's article and my driller's notes on the seminar he went to and we discussed it for a while. I borrowed a Pro-Sect and am in the middle of nailing down all my layouts (symmetrical and asymmetrical) to see what my magic number might be.
Hopefully I'll also discover why there are some balls in my arsenal that I really like, and other's that I totally despise on most occasions.

Basically the higher rev players will like the higher degree angle sums, say like a 90* pin by whichever pin to pap by 70* mb. the highest for the first degree is 90, lowest is 10. highest on second degree 70, 20 lowest. Now those are just save zones for those measurements. lower rev players like the lower angle sums, 10* pin and 20* mb for the really speed dominant player. basically you get the angles you want by defining which type of bowler you are, and what kind of reaction you are looking for. The 5 types of players are:
1. Speed highly dominates revs
2. Speed mildly dominates revs
3. Revs and speed matches up
4. Revs mildly dominates speed
5. Revs highly dominates speed
A number 1 type of player wants the ball to read the friction as soon as possible with the quickest response to friction (10* pin, 20* mb).A number 5 wants the ball to have the longest reaction while having the longest response to friction (90* pin, 70* mb). Hope that helps.

Agreed, I believe Turbo Grips has this Motion Enhancement chart on Dual angle if you download their Prosect user guide. They also state the flare safe zone for bowlers according to their horizontal measurement. Hope this helps.

I went to Mo's seminar on Friday Oct 12, and it seems that this layout can apply to your favorite ball.. What I mean by this, is that you can find your drill angle and your Val angle on your "go to" ball and then that is your best dual angle layout.
For instance, my first out of the bag ball (RSX pin down- cg swung 45 degrees) translates to 50 degree, 4 inch, 50 degree. sum of angles is 100.
So in theory, if I wanted an earlier reaction but have a fast transition off the dry- I would lower my sum of angles by 60 degrees (10 degree drill angle, 30 degree val angle)
Or if I wanted length with slow transition, I would raise the my sum of angles
(70 degree drill angle, 70 degree val angle)
