The "Tommy Jones" layout...
« on: March 09, 2008, 11:30:38 AM »
Pin high over bridge, MB above the thumb -- what kind of reaction does this usually provide?

It completely depends on where your PAP is and how you roll the ball.  TJ utilized it two years ago from what I understand due to the oil used on tour pushing down the lane.  The pin being that high would make it glide through the fronts, and the MB being strong makes the shape down the lane more manageable.

Once again though...it depends on where your PAP is and how you roll it.

PAP 4 over 3/8 up, tweener revs, good circumference coverage, and as for axis/tilt, I can change it to match what I need to do but I guess I'm best at 45/45. What would that do for me?

I had the exact drill on a TNV.  

Big pile of junk!  

Goes too long, too flippy.  Added surface and it burns up.  VERY CONDITION SPECIFIC!  

Try it, but most likely you won't like it.

I have it on a Oracle Vision at 4000 Abralon.  Last time I used it, I put up 760 in league.  This house has tons of backend and I was having trouble with other stuff not hitting once I moved my feet left.  This ball was very good on that shot.  

The tendency is very long and moderately angular.  I never used it on anything else and haven't used it since that night.  Not b/c I don't like it, but b/c i adjusted my span it is still in the basement waiting.

Yes, it is condition specific.  I can't imagine using it on much other than a house shot or broken down sport pattern.
