looking for 2 reactions, what drillings would i need?
« on: November 06, 2005, 12:13:03 PM »
Ok, title says most of it, I have 2 undrilled balls here (Inferno and Throttle eXcelerator) and am FINALLY going to drill them up! But I dont know what kind of pin positions and such i would need (I could ask pro shop, but I want a little insight before i go).

First ball reaction I'm looking for is really low flaring and real smooth (want to use this on the Inferno)

Second ball reaction has to be high flaring and have a drastic change in direction.

Any help is appreciated.

popular smooth layouts...rico drilling (pin in center of grip-cant do it myself cause i track high) label drill is also a nice one (pin next to ring, cg in palm) my personal favorite is cg on pap and pin 4 inches away (zero degree layout) worked will for me being a high tracker, but im assuming ur not

flip layouts i would do any type of stacked layout pin and cg in align, 4 pin from pap and cg stacked underneither i like alot, 3 3/8 pin from pap gives u the most flare

surface prep will also be critical to ur rxn

Maybe a 315 on the inferno.

Typical low flaring pin posiitons are pin on axis & pin in track.
Pin in track (or very near track) has more length.
Pin on axis is VERY early.
Both are real smooth.
Pin in/near track + smooth - place pin to the track side at or under the middle finger.
pin on axis - self explanatory (place pin level or barely above the PAP's level, within 1" of the PAP. Weigh thole on or very close to the PAP.

quote:

Second ball reaction has to be high flaring and have a drastic change in direction.


Place pin 3.5 - 4" from PAP, but above the level of the ring finger. (3.5" above the midline)
Place MB 3.5-4" from PAP.
Place weight hole 6 3/4" from grip center thru CG.
That should max out just about everything.
If you pick the right surface for the oil amount/pattern, it should flip like a Banshee from hell.  

In turn, I have 2 questions:

1. Why, in heaven's name, do you want such drastic extremes?

2. FYI these are classic layouts available anywhere, but few people use them. Why ask here?
