Full Roller Drill Question
« on: August 04, 2005, 01:44:41 PM »
Most of the full roller drills I've tried have all been anywhere from 3&3/8" to 1" pin to center of grip in a 7:30 direction. Has anyone ever tried going the other way like maybe 5" to center of grip? Wondered what kind of reaction this would give you? I was trying to come up with some way to get more length. All these full roller drills seem to check up early. Any ideas would be appreciated.

                                    Thanks,
                                    Mike E

Ever looked at 6" Pin to PAP and 2-3" PAP to CG ?

I'm thinking that will give you added length with an acring  reaction, If I thinking right, if not, I stand corrected. Never had one or drilled one that way, but I'm thinking I'm right

Yeah AZ I've tried 6" pin to pap. The only problem with that is that it rolls over all the holes.The full roller drill puts the track between the thumb and fingers.If you look at ebonite's drill sheet for full rollers 3&3/8 pin to grip center gives you a length of something like 3. A 1&1/2" pin to grip center gives you a length of like 5. I was wondering if anyone ever tried going the other direction like 5" pin to grip center. Thanks for any suggestions.

Mike, I looked at your profile & you stated you are a very high tracker. Are you a high tracker or do you actually have a full roller track? It's not too late to learn a new release. I've helped more than one person switch from full to 3/4 & I'm sure you would not regret the effort. If that's something you would consider, it would be as simple as having a friend help you through it, or get a coach for 3 or 4 lessons. Just a suggestion!
