Title: Full Roller Reccomendations
Post by: bucsfan713 on February 12, 2007, 10:54:28 AM

I am a full roller and I was wondering 2 things.

1.  What is the strongest drilling I can use for a ball?

2.  For the other Full Rollers out there:  What kind of balls do you use/how do they work for you/how are they drilled?

I drill a number of balls for my buddy who is a full roller.  The overall strongest layout we have found is listed in this manual on page 9 (full roller leverage): http://www.amf300.com/drillSheets/AMFdrill.pdf

Pin is placed 3 3/8" past the bowlers axis point (or roughly 10 1/8" from the center of grip).  A weight hole is used 1/2 way between the pin and the PAP.  In order to not require a crater for a weight hole, balls with longer pin to cg distances are required (I would say at least 4" pin out).  I found an old Icon II blem that had a 7" pin to PAP and drilled it up for my buddy... it was almost ideal for this layout!  He shot several 300's / 800's with it...

Good luck,

I agree but would add one thing.  This layout works better with a ball that has a tall core.
