Label Shift Drilling
« on: December 28, 2011, 09:49:05 AM »
What type of drill pattern would be "label shift"?  What type of reaction would this give me (tweener) on a THS?

Label shift refers to a shift from your grip, which has nothing to do with ball reaction.  This is a drilling technique from the 80s that means little to nothing in the modern game.  To know what a drilling is we need to know your Positive Axis Point, revrate (RPMs) and ball speed at minimum.  It would help to know your tilt, and what sort of house shot you're bowling on, as not all are the same.

hey cubs, lemme elaborate on this topic a little more.

 

A label shift drilling puts the "label/CG/heavy spot" on the ball away from your grip.  If you're right handed the label will be shifted to the right, visa-versa for lefties.  These drillings were traditionally (and not always right) used to help the ball curve more.  

 

Send me a message on here and i can help you figure out what that ball is supposed to do.
