Playmaker layout suggestions needed!!
« on: July 02, 2008, 05:23:20 AM »
I'm looking for a late mid lane read with a nice continous backend reaction off the breakpoint.

Ball is 16 lbs even, 2 3/4 tw and 3 1/2 pin out.

I'm the poster boy for medium everything (not rev rate or speed dominant).

5 1/2 over by 1/4 down..

Suggestions, please!!

ya know, I just can't bring myself to throw anything less.

I have tried it, but didn't like the feel of the weight or the reaction I was seeing.

It's probaly all in my head, but hey, it's my head..

you know im just joking with you ...now back to the question at hand, this cover is pretty clean from what i have seen, but taking into account the lower RG and higher Diff core you may want to go with something like a 5x3 layout...should clear the heads without a problem and make more of a move in the late midlane/backend

Havent thrown one personally yet or else i could prolly give you a better answer

I was thinking along the same lines 4 1/2 or 5" ptp (pin down) x 3 w/x-hole in the thumb quad

That is one of my personal favorite layouts on high diff/low rg stuff...good length with controllable but usually strong backend reaction depending on the ball...
