Title: PAP to MB Distance
Post by: tomgriffin on April 28, 2009, 07:27:26 AM
What would the general impact of a very far PAP to MB distance ( >6 in) be?

Take a look at this link.  It does not state distance between MB and PAP but uses the degree system.  It should be what you are looking for.

Also, Roto Grips Advance drill sheet shows the MB in the track as a weaker arcing backend.

Wes Malott used a Cell Pearl with a 7" MB to PAP.  That one made what I'd call a strong arc, but not a huge one.  It was used at the Medford Classic, here's a video

What amazed me more than the reaction he was getting with that layout was the power through the pins.

What I think about larger MB to PAP distances(5"+) is that they make the ball react later and more angular but weaker at the same time.

generally, late revs. But it really depends on what the drilling angle turns out to be.

It is very similar to pin to PAP distances, just lesser, as well as dependant on mass bias strength. Mass bias for the most part are used as fine tuners.
