Short Transition, Long Transition etc.
« on: December 07, 2006, 01:29:10 AM »
Any experience and what condition are you using each for.  I here that the Short T.  reacts to dry quicker so would that be an oilier condition ball that jumps to friction?  Lets say I am using a med-oil lane ball with pin 3.5 off val (long transition) and it begins to burn up etc.  Do i pull out a shorter T ball and with the pin 1.5 off val and play the same shot or will it simply over jump and hook early to the dry and force me left?

I guess I'm not sure what you mean by Short and Long Transition.  I try to stay away from bowling ball layout names and terms.  It's best to stick to a pin distance and preferred spin axis distance.  That way there are no mistakes or misunderstandings about the layout.  Obviously using the degree system along with a pin distance will give you an accurate description of a ball layout.

I'll be glad to help out in any way.  Thanks!

Pin up 1.5 of VAL with pin 5 off off pap with the mass bias @ 75% = Short Transition

Long Transition Pin 3.5 off VAL (Under fingers) with pin 5 off pap with mass bias at 75%

Thanks - nod
