Drilling A Pearl Ball For A Low Tracker
« on: February 20, 2006, 04:49:39 AM »
OK, the issue is this: a guy came with a backyard bully and he told me he saw the ball had tremendous backend reaction so he wanted me to drill his ball "late".
I didn't tell him anything and went to the lanes so i can measure his axis point. His pap was located sth like 1,5 over 2 1/8 up... What i did was place the pin under the bridge and pin pap distance was 2 inches... what i really thought to do was if i place the pin 3 3/8 it would be on the other side of the ball. it would be just below and left of his middle finger(he is a righty). Now he is planning to get a new ball, and i told him to buy a v2 Power(his bb was going way too long) so  i can drill it so it atleast hooks(again his bb was skidding was too much)
So my question is, if i need to put the pin on the negative side would this be correct?

thanks

you have to ignore pos/neg on a spinner that low.  
You just need to worry about PIN to PAP distance.  

I would bet that the BB you drilled wasn't skidding but rolling, as you only put the pin at 2 inches.  

Will need to have low tops on EVERYTHING he drills as the pins should always be on the left side of the grip line.

well, the ball was skidding as it was just spinning and spinning and like that, it never hooked nor changed direction... The bb is for high track players(or medium) because it is a high rg ball...

(Not being facetious here at all, but) maybe the best thing you could have done for the guy was to get him a good coach.
