Title: NEED....Full Roller Layout Help
Post by: pro shop guy on October 27, 2009, 05:48:04 AM

Looking for a couple ideas (layouts) for a full roller. To be honest, haven't drilled many other than the normal 3 3/8 (8 o'clock pin). Looking for a smooth controlled roll, and a backend reaction layout. The 3 3/8 seems to be fine for the common strong roll. Thanks for any help.

Frankie May has a video "Bowl In Control". In it, he decribes a full roller layout he calls "rev up and flip". I have drilled a couple of these for my full roller customers, and they have loved the reaction. It is much stronger on the backend than the normal full roller layout.
  First, you must choose a ball with 2 ounces or less top weight. He doesn't specify pin distance, but it seems a 3-4 pin will be the easiest to get the statics legal. Layout the ball with the cg and pin in line in a 1:30 direction from the grip center. Put the pin at exactly 10 1/8" from the center. Drill an x-hole midway betwen the pin and cg until the statics are legal. This layout really works well for a full roller that wants a more dynamic reaction!
