i am just wondering what you guys think of this pin placement?...and how would you expect the ball to react with this drilling?....i went a local house around here and shot 157,172,168.lanes where flooded with no backend at all....what a joke......then this morning i went to another house...shot 267,243,266...couldn't miss the pocket, and carried everything!!!

The ball will go long and flip hard.   That is assuming you have about a 4.5-5" PAP.

That drilling (dependant on your aactual PAP), should be long with a fairly ggod backend reaction....  Should work well on the THS and some tougher sport patterns...  Floded lanes with no backend are typically tough whatever you use...  I was throwing my Battle the other day on heavy carry down and had to play straight up 5 to get a decent look....

That looks like my favorite drilling.  I have this drilling on 2 of my Dooms.  This should give you good length and a strong back end.  For me this layout puts my pin 5.5" from my pap.

Also this is usually not the best layout for a lot of carry down.

Here is an easy way for you to check your PAP.  Bare with me on this but I heard that it will work.  Buy some white bowlers tape.  Use a piece and place it about 5" right of grip center and up 1/4".  After you put the piece of tape on that part of your ball roll it with you normal release.  If the tape moves around in a large circle while the ball is going down the lane then the tape needs to be moved.  The idea here is to put the tape on your pap.  You will know it's on your pap by it not moving while the ball is going down the lane.

I hope i'm explaining this OK.  I think you get the gist of it.  Once that tape is a spot where it doesn't seem to be moving when the ball is rolled that is your PAP.  Measure it from grip center and your mid line.
