Title: need drilling help quick!
Post by: fishbowler on December 30, 2004, 01:28:00 AM
got a depth charge ready to be punched up.

want a clean start with a strong midlane and controlled backend arc.

ball has a 4 inch pin.  was thinkinh pin right under bridge or ring, cg down by thumb and out to right.  most likely a wt whole in thumb positive quadrant.  would this give me the desired reaction I am looking for.

I am needing this ball for aths when the track begins to get played on and have to mover in just a little and bump into the track.

yes...label will give arcing backend, but not a strong midlane...  I would say a 45 degree layout with roughly 4" pin to PAP.  The lower the pin is placed, the earlier the ball will start up, but be careful about placing it too low as sometimes this can cause the ball to flare over the fingers (with the relatively high track).  Should be alright to place the pin just under the fingers though.

I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.

I have a Depth Charge with pin under RF and RAD in the strong position. (ball doesn't have a marked RAD, but check CG and if accurate, draw a line 6 3/4" from pin thru CG to a point 6 3/4" down) has a weight hole on VAL. This ball has a 2 1/4" pin and gets thru the midlane very cleanly and has a hard hook on the back-end. It isn't an arc, but it isn't a flip either, just a hard turn and drive.

I know someone with a Depth Charge drilled full leverage and it is a very strong ball. Skids probably half the way and makes a sharp move. Very strong ball.
