Best drill?
« on: September 17, 2007, 08:20:52 AM »
What would be the best drill pattern for someone with a zero pap? for A) strong arc reaction b) skid/snap reaction. what sort of ways could a person drill the ball to help them track lower i.e. changing thum pitch to get the thumb out faster? instead of going to the palm laterally could you go away laterally if the person feels it is still comfortable and can hold onto the ball?

It is quite possible to have a track with a horizontal PAP component in that 3 1/2 - 4 1/2" range with a diameter in the 10 1/2 - 11 1/2" range.  That bowler has a low track but also low tilt and is not a spinner.


Mike Fagan is like that.  Goofy, goofy PAP, full-sized track.

I was also in the "tilt ~= PAP" camp until I read that guys like Tom Baker and Brad Angelo, and Ryan Shafer, who all have quite a lot of tilt, have PAPs in the 5" range.

charlest -- Not necessarily, you have to know axis tilt.  Track diameter determines whether it's a spinner, not the PAP location.  --  JohnP


John,

I was just trying to get some basics from the guy, since we had none, with many replies already. (My mind wasn't even focusing that well that early in the morn ... )
