High top weight, short pin
« on: September 11, 2015, 04:36:40 PM »
I know that it should be a pin under the fingers layout, gotcha.


I ordered a bulk order of balls, most were great 1st quality specs. However I got a few odd balls...like 1-2 inch pins..fine. 

What do I do with 1-2 in pin AND 5oz top weight?

Does that just mean pin down hole ________?

Sorry if it a dumb question...I am no proshop operator, I know what works for me through trial and error...and I am hooking all my friends up with NIB equipment...so I don't want to give the ball a home if the specs are terrible...I already know the PSO is going to have a cow...

Anyhow let me know what u think..

Thanks

You only need to remover 2 ozs of top weight. That is pretty east when you consider two finger holes and a thumb hole. Especially if you use any of the interchangeable grip systems.

Is a diagram for options on a ball with a short 1" pin or so. If you keep the cg close to the center grip line, and the pin in some pretty common areas used by most bowlers after drilling the finger holes and thumb hole you should have taken out 2 ozs. You can always come back and drill the fingers or thumb a little deeper if needed but I think you will be okay.

 :-\Thanks kid.  You're the best at story problems. 

Most likely it will go to a guy who averages 170 with his buddies ball, and will be glad to not pay alot for his own. 

From what I saw I got 3/28 with "2nd" specs...some of those were short pin, normal top weight so that's not bad at all. I just had that one weird one.

The other 25 are damn near perfect...

Out of 28 balls, short pins typically aren't 2nds, the 5oz top weight is pretty close I would think.

Id say you got a great deal.At least I hope if you bought 28 balls lol

It seemed they were simply mixed cartons...2 had perfect specs, 1 decent, 1 bad.

Do you recommend a high rev player or low rev?

For most bowlers this will allow for layouts in the 4.5" to 5.5" range from pap. Depending on the ball that should really work for anyone.

You just don't have pin above the fingers as an option which isn't a big deal because your pin to pap options are still pretty good.
