Leverage points
« on: February 18, 2005, 12:37:53 PM »
Hi all,

Had a curious experience recently, wanted to understand the logic behind it.  I went to a new ball driller, Ray DiSanto.  He's off one of the PBA senior tour trucks, so I believe he's not full of it.  Anyhow, he looks at my equipment, finds my PAP and axis tilt, and determines that given the way I throw the ball, I will get maximum core leverage with the pin at 2 7/8" (not 3 3/8").  Can anyone explain why this is and how it's determined???

I always thought that the leverage point was any point halfway between the ball track and the PAP.  This would put the core halfway between laying down on it's axis and being standing straight up and down like it would if the pin  was on the track.  This doesn't make sence though with what this driller is saying. I've always thought the leverage point would be 3 3/8 for someone that tracked around the entire ball and the point would get higher from 3 3/8 the lower a person's track was.
