Carrydown drilling--short pin?
« on: October 27, 2006, 12:50:55 AM »
I just picked up a used Eraser Blaze, which I would like to use on conditions that feature drying heads and a little bit of carrydown. My thought is that the particle pearl cover and my speed will get the ball through the heads just fine. The question is, what kind of layout will get the ball reading the mid and digging on a hard arc down the back? The situation is further complicated by the fact that the ball's pin is only like 2". I am a high speed bowler with slightly above average revs. I usually track fairly high, unless I'm trying to create more tilt. Do you guys/gals have a layout suggestion for short-pin ball for the conditions of which I speak? Let me know.

Gene:
I actually have a short pin cherry pearl c/2 that is a 1" pin, i use it almost exclusively on carrydown, drilled it pin under ring 1" cg stacked, gets thru clean and had plenty of punch thru the carry down

I assume that you are a high tracker, since you do not provide a PAP as reference? I'd also suggest either a pin under ring drilling, with the CG stacked or slightly swung out towards the PAP (weight hole might become necessary), or a "simple" label drilling with the CG in the palm and the pin right to and under the ring finger hole. With some higher speed, I would not drill the ball too tame (with a great pin to PAP distance). 4 - 4 1/2"?
The 1st drilling will have more back end, the CG swungt out will make the ball more even arcing. The label drilling will basically have more midlane read but a tame and controllable back end.
