I've been around a while and I know what happens if you drill negative pins or CG layouts on symmetrical balls. My question is, what about drilling negative layouts with assymetrical balls?

John, there is no such think as negative pin-cg layout. It is the deception of the look of the pin-cg-mb locations with regards to finger-thumb holes.

Everything is about the distance to your PAP, NOT any of the drilled holes!

If my PAP is 4 inches over, "5-1/2 inches from PAP layout" will put the pin left of my middle finger. If your PAP is around 5-1/2 inches over, same layout would end up with the pin being placed just below the bridge. Regardless of their look, those two layouts ARE same for our styles.

Adding to what Burak has stated. The mass bias works the same in theory as the pin. The closer we place it to pap, the sooner we will see the reaction, the further away from pap the later the reaction (assuming the mb strength is .008 or greater).

In a big picture sense with cores (sym or asym), we are basically doing one of two things. Either we can assist the motion of the core or we can delay it from it's natural and desired motion with gravity thus altering a ball's reaction shape. Hope this helps some...

John,

You asked me the same thing in a personal message. I hadn't looked at this but once I did, I agree with Burak and Rick.

Thinking about the pin/cg/MB placement as being negative reinforces a bad idea, that of pin/MB placement being in relation to the finger & thumb holes. We must think of them with respect to our PAP and the VAL and the midline. We are talking about dynamic cores here, not a pancake core any longer, where the CG and static weights had a lot of influence. Their influence in minimal at best.

These days many people place pins and MBs 5.5" - 6" away from their PAP and their VAL. It's better if you start thinking in terms of these relationships rather than in terms of the holes.

A guy I bowl has this type of layout on a striking motion and he is clipping his middle finger and thumb hole. The ball weighs out at 3/4 neg side and 1/2 thumb. His axis is 5 1/4 x 1/4. Is there a way to pull the track off his holes.

does any of his other equip do this? is the bow-tie making the track hit the holes?
