Q for drillers - Anger buddiesproshop video
« on: July 05, 2007, 03:22:07 AM »
Well, it is like this... From the Hammer Anger video at buddiesproshop:

http://www.buddiesproshop.com/files/5726.wmv

I understand everything but at 1:18 how does he figures and decides that spot which will help him define the horizontal and vertical lines which will give him the Center of the Span??... It's just like my old question that at this point how do you drillers define the VAL? It's obvious that with this spot or the VAL you can fully layout a ball, but I'm not getting this step.

By the way, great video, without words I could understand the ball layout process but the one step I mention before.

Thank you in advance for all your comments.

In addition to knowing the pin and CG/MB distance to the PAP (or the pin and PAP-pin-MB angle), you have to choose one additional value to complete the layout.  Pin height above the midline, distance from VAL, anything.

If you choose to define the VAL (say you want the pin 2" from the VAL, I believe that's a part of the "TJ trick layout" or maybe the asymmetrical flip layout), you draw a line so that the pin is 2" from that line.  Since the VAL is perpendicular to the midline through the PAP, that fixes the midline as well.  You know the PAP coordinates as X" over by Y" up/down, that's measured from the center of grip, which is always on the midline.  A particular PAP, VAL, midline, and the pin/CG/MB distance from PAP can only define one point as the grip center (well, maybe two, but only one will make sense).
