pin buffers
« on: August 22, 2007, 08:53:15 AM »
does anyone have any info or know where i can information on pin buffers? I see on ebonite.com for the nvs balls they have different drillings and they mention pin buffers. I know the beginning of the year Storm mentioned pin buffers on their drill sheets

If I remember correctly I think it is like this:

Shorter Pin Buffer = Earlier roll

Longer Pin Buffer = More length and snap

Actually that is backwards... A short pin buffer will create a sharper breakpoint. This will place the pin higher in the grip and at the same time put the MB closer to the thumb.

A longer pin buffer will create a ealier smoother reaction. As you increase the pin buffer you'll move the pin closer to the midline and the MB will move towards the VAL.

I believe Storm was the first company to start using pin buffers in their layout sheets. I would check Storm's website.


NO, I DO believe MORICH was the FIRST company start using the pin buffer concept with their asymmetrical flip drilling method.
