Dual Angle Sweet Spot
« on: January 08, 2014, 01:55:30 PM »
Would like some help on a dual angle layout.I am trying to find what they call the sweet spot.Going to drill a Brunswick Platinum Ringer Symmetrical ball.Mostly for the THS.Any help greatly appreciated as this dual angle is all new to me.

Here is my specs
16mph at the foul line
Rev Rate 390-400
75*axis rotation
17* axis tilt
Pap is 5 over 1/4 up

Gizmo,

It's more for people who either create a lot of friction or play closer to the friction and need the ball to roll heavier and giving them a straighter angle to the pocket, rather than transitioning too quickly on the back part of the lane and having to cover a lot of boards. Low track players or extremely high tilt players will tend to like this type of layout to get the ball rolling and burning off tilt.

Yeah, that makes sense.  Must be a region or house thing, we have soft backends around here, so something that rolls early and transitions slow is going to be a nightmare here.  2/1 initial to val ratios are generally where we hover around here. 
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?

Amen! Amen! I have to have balls that transition slow because I am a heavy-handed stroker,usually bowling on lanes with strong or very fast backends!!
Been working on using a softer hand for the last 4 months with mixed results.
Some days you're the bug....some days you're the windshield...that's bowling!

I do better on most ths with higher val. I'm higher tilt and it allows me to control breakpoint.

for THS you can use a symmetric and do a big VAL and a P3 or a DT weight hole to get the ball to transition a little faster. I've drilled a few of those and people have shot big games.
