Title: Drilling layout for high track bowler
Post by: johndc on May 02, 2016, 02:55:49 AM
Looking for advice on any drilling layouts.
My pro shop operator drills all my balls
Pin up because any other drill pattern seems
To clip the thimb and fingers since I track
Very high. To get different reactions I
Normally use surface. Any ball layouts
Other than pin up that I could use with my
High track?

Pin stacked next to ring or any pin close to pap. Im the same, pin under layouts puke for me and roll over fingers cause the bowtie is so close.

I track very very high.  Almost clip my thumb and 1 inch or soo off my fingers 16 mph 425 rev rate.   I always had the same problem with only having pin up up drillings.  My pap is also very unusual around 6 5/8 over and some. number up .  I request that i wanted a pin down bowling ball.  He ordered my venom cobra and paranoia with 2 inch pins and lower top weigh.  With the computer input we made it happen.      Most shops i walk into only have 3 to 4 inch pins which gives them the most flexability for drilling but almost impossible to do pin down for a high track.  Speak to him and see if he can order a shorter oin bowling ball for u.   He more than likely wants to sell stuff off the shelf with those long pins.

I too track pretty high (PAP is 5 1/2 over).  But I put a weight hole down by my thumb to move that bowtie back away from the grip.  Had a Take Down drilled 50 x 5 x 70 which put the pin under my ring finger.  The 50 degree layout forced me to put a weight hole in it.  So putting it down moved the track back away from the grip.

I would follow TWOHAND's advice. He helped me a lot before I started testing different types of layouts.
