To confirm your PAP location, mark it with a piece of white tape on the least flaring ball you have (plastic with a pancake core is best). Now throw it using your normal strike ball release. The piece of tape should be stationary - throughout the whole lane if you used plastic, for the first 15' or so if you used a flaring ball. If you did use a flaring ball, have someone else watch it because you probably won't pick it up until after the flare has begun. -- JohnP
