Paradigm with a short pin
« on: December 26, 2005, 12:11:51 PM »
Ok, a couple brought in a couple of Paradigms, and both are internet specials.  One has a 1 3/4th inch pin, and the other has a 1 1/4th inch pin.  The lady's ball is the latter.  She has slow speed and throws the ball down and in.  This house has a hard dry area right of 6, and it's a short pattern with a long buff area to begin with.  The other problem is that the cg is kicked out right on it.  I need help on a drilling that's not going to make the ball track funny and one that's going to delay the hook a little.  Bad ball choice for a medium oil house and bad pin length, but I still have to make it work, so . .  What I was going to do is make it almost like a label drill, but go off the cg instead of the RAD so the RAD would end up to the left of the thumbhole, but the cg would be closer to her palm, and the pin would be to the right of her ring finger.  It's just that with the asymmetrical core, I'm worried that having the RAD in the track would mess with the ball roll.  Help!

For strong asymmetrics, you should be able to disregard the CG.  If it's seriously out of line (like an "L" shape) then side weight will be a problem and you may need a larger than desirable weight hole.  But if it's only a little out of line, there shouldn't be much problem.

Why not put the pin nearer the bridge and the MB at 5 o'clock?  Under for a little earlier roll if she needs help getting it to break in the buff area, over if the buff is dry enough for the polish and pearl to snap.  Having the longer pin-to-PAP (I'm assuming that the bridge is 5" or so from the PAP, that she's maybe a medium-high tracker) should tame the reaction enough to use on the medium oil you describe.

If I drilled it like that, the ring finger would go straight through the cg.  I don't suppose that's a problem?  I just don't want to end up with some funky side weight or finger/thumb weight . .

I don't think that's a big problem.  A friend of mine has a Bruiser with the drilled out for the ring finger.

Keep in mind, though, that I'm not a driller, only an enthusiast.  I don't know how the statics would end up putting the pin there.  If it's got a "normal" top weight, not too high, then you should be ok.  If the top weight is real high, drill the fingers a little deeper.  If the top weight is a little low, you might be able to compensate by moving the pin up or down.  I suppose you could drill the thumb deeper to add finger weight (which would make it go longer, right?) but I don't know if that's a typical technique.

Yeah, we don't usually have to worry about topweight too much, and yes, that is the technique we use for adding finger/thumbweight.  If one or the other is too high, we just drill deeper as opposed to a vent hole or something like that.  That makes sense though, thanks!
