Layout for inside angles.
« on: January 20, 2004, 09:52:32 AM »
What are some good layouts for inside angles? Most of the balls I have are close to label leverage and just don't seem to like inside angles.

What kind of angles are we talking about? Steep,tight,shallow!

What type of oil pattern,volume are we talking about? I know you only average 170-180 and may not know these answers but you can ask around and maybe find out,it will help us help you. I could recommend several different drillings for different angles that start off inside but may go out or stay tight depends on how you are playing the lanes. As a basic drill that I use for getting a steep inside angle with some dry boards to the right put the pin 6 inches over from pap above the fingers and put the cg/mass bias online towards the pap.This would be a 6"pin high x 0 degrees.I don't recommend it for you but as just an example of some of the creative ways to produce length with a huge backend recovery.

Give us/me the most info you can and thier will be people here to help.

Style of game you have?
Revs med,high,low
Where do some of the higher average bowlers play that have a similar style to you?
Ask the local pro shop guy for some advice and report back what he says,You never know what the pro shop guy will say but we will help confirm it if possible.
Where do you mostly bowl at? maybe some one on here bowls thier also and can help you out.

Good luck and let us know as much as possible.

Ok well I mostly bowl in a 12 lane house called Shadow Bowl in NE Indiana. I have med revs but lately I have seen a little increase in my rev rate. I track pretty high. The oil pattern they lay down is right around 42 I think and is med-hvy. The backend are usually dry and we don't see a lot of carrydown. I usually between the 2nd and 3rd arrow but lately I am getting too much over/under. I moved left and got away from the over under by playing right between the 4th and 5th arrow out to about the 10 at my breakpoint. The only problem I have had is that the ball doesn't want to turn the corner. I can only think of one bowler that has the same style like me and he is now using a urethane ball playing the third arrow out to about 5 or 4. I took a look as his balls the other day and most are drilled with the pin above the fingers and the cg kicked way out. Well I hope that helps a little. Oh yeah I am also gonna be buying a ball here pretty soon, so what would be a good ball for playing inside angles?

Great now we are getting some where.you said some one else that bowls like you is using ureathane with the pin high? Seems like you might have rough/bad heads. I would recomend a pearl reactive with a medium rg and high diff.I would drill it pin high 4-1/2 or 5" pin to pap with the cg kicked out something like 90-0 degrees depending on your tilt and how violent you want the break point.I would recomend a 3-4 pin out ball with no more than 2 -1/4 oz top to limit a big weight hole.These are just suggestions and hope some others will chime in and offer more advice.

I'll go talk to the guy that runs the pro shop and run some of the advice you guys gave me by him and we'll get something figured out. As for the ball selection...Tech said a pearl reactive med rg and high diff. Could I get away with a pearl particle and putting polish on it or would it be better just to go with the pearl reactive? And what are some balls that would be good. I'm not picky on which brand.
