I did a CATS analysis a few months ago, and just the other night I was re-reading the data sheet.  I noticed my axis tilt data for the first time, and was shocked to find it at 90*.  It's somewhat strange, because I have a pretty high track and a heavy roll.

Anyway, I generally have been throwing stacked leverage layouts, but recently drilled two balls with the pin at 2 1/4" from the PAP and the CG in the center of grip. These balls have a very smooth and controllable back end, and have worked well for me.

Last night I was cleaning some bowling files and came across a drill sheet from an old Columbia ball (Cuda 2000 I believe). They had layouts for 90* axis, and basically show moving the pin about 1" closer to the PAP for the 90* drills. In esence that's what I did with these two balls that have been working for me!

Anyhow, my question is: does anyone have any experience on drilling for high axis, high track bowlers?  
 
A few other details: Revs rate about 260, speed 16, average 210 to 215 on conditions from a heavy oil flat shot to Sahara dry. Pretty damn accurate. On the CATS test. I was within 1/10 of a board on 80% of my shots.

Yep, that's what I mean!

The Columbia sheet illustrates moving the pin closer to the PAP for 90* bowlers. It was very coincidental that I drilled up a few balls this way -- not due to the rotation issue, but based on Denny Torgesun's 105* layout that he often speaks about in BTM.

Last night I read your post about dropping the CG below the midline... sounds like that could possibly be another tool to add to the kit! Good post!

That's what the CTS machine said. But no, my track is maybe an inch or two to the left of my middle finger. No Asian helicopter track for sure!
