Title: Layout Question
Post by: earlyrolling on April 04, 2017, 12:00:39 AM
With regard to ball motion, how would the layout shown in the photo below differ from that of a standard "pin over bridge (with CG stacked beneath)" layout when bowling on each of the generically stated patterns below?

A.  House Shot (40 ft)
B.  Sport Shot (Short - such as Cheetah or Wolf)
C.  Sport Shot (Long - such as Statue of Liberty or Eiffel Tower)

My Stats:
PAP: 5" over, 1/2" up
Ball Speed: 16 mph at the pins
Rev Rate: 390 rpm
Track Location: Medium

Depends on bowlers PAP. For a right handed bowler the one pictured would be a shorter pin to pap, and the pin over bridge would be further. CG location doesn't matter unless a weight hole was added. Without knowing the bowlers PAP and distances for each it would be hard to say.

OK I've updated my original post. Thx.

On a house shot, It is going to work fine, but you will likely have to play a little more direct because of the short pin to pap distance

Short pattern: The ball will react well here playing the outside because of the layout being one thats going to get more length. But im afraid the surface will cause it to burn up to early.

Long pattern: Not ideal at all. Surface is okay for it, But i look for the drill pattern to be a bit weak.

This is one of my favorite drills for weaker balls or ball with length,For me I have a lot of ball drilled this way it puts the pin in a strong position causing it to start up early and with the Cg kicked in it doesn't burn up on the backend and depending on the bowler the further the pin is from pap the more length and backend you will get

Would it ever be useful to have a strong ball (such as a Jackal Ghost or Maverick Pearl) drilled this way?
