need drilling advice on paradigm passion
« on: June 04, 2009, 06:30:22 PM »
Hi everyone. I recently picked up a paradigm passion from a guy on here and in the process of having it plugged. I have another passion that has a 5 x 3 1/2  pin up, no hole that is a pro cg. That one roles really early with a nice back end. I bought the second passion to use mostly on the scorpian and shark patterns once they break down and when my first passion starts hooking too soon. Here is a picture of this ball before plugging----> http://gs98.photobucket.com/groups/l252/H4QYVY842D/?action=view¤t=PrdPssn2.jpg

My pap is 5 3/8 over and 3/8 up or so. I am wanting this passion to be able to go a little longer while having a nice backend and to be able to recover when playing deeper. I am thinking of a 5 x 5 pin up, or a 5 x 4 1/2 pin up no extra hole. I need some suggestions as I will be getting this drilled most likely next week sometime, thanks Josh

5x5 would be a good option.If the cg falls into the right area to leave you with some positive side weight,I would consider a 6x5 pin up. One of the strongest backending layouts I've ever used!I ,myself,am getting ready to try a 6x61/4,I have other balls for midlane! Good luck!

Hi Pooh, yeah if I were to do the 5 x 5, it would leave me with like 1/4 ounce side and finger or so. A 6 x 5 probably would be a little weak and plus I track close to the fingers so I might have a problem there. Do you think a 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 would work?

Sure,the 5x41/2 will have a slight bit more midlane than the 5x5.

Thanks Pooh I will probably land up doing a 4 1/2 x 5 or a 5 x 5 pin up

Probably too late, but I like the layout that is on the ball, just put your grip in it and add some shine.  5 3/8 from PAP over the fingers, strong mass bias, nice!!  But that's me...

Hi Mike, well I should be getting it drilled next week. I am thinking of doing a 5 x 5, or a 5 x 4 1/2 as this ball has a mas bias strenght of 0.026, so nothing less than 4 1/2..lol.
