pin 2 inches above finger holes
« on: February 12, 2014, 10:57:21 AM »
Generally speaking......

Does this make the ball hook sooner or later?  Cg is about 3/4 to 1 inch from the center of finger holes and thumb hole

You forgot to include the name of your first born! How can we give you even a smidgen of info without all your particulars??  :o

If you don't have a first born yet, come back and see us when you do.


Sorry, had to do it!  ;D ;D

I use this drilling on a couple of balls, it gives me good length with a sharp down lane move. I find it works well for the deeper inside shots.

This is SOMEWHAT what my Diva and Pink/Purple Karma look like with the layout of 70x4.5x40.  The pin isn't quite 2" high above the bridge / holes, but it's up high.

Hard to answer without knowing at least your PAP.

Agreed, really need to know your PAP so that your Pin-to-VAL distance (or VAL angle) is known.   Shorter distance / smaller angle should be a quicker reaction to friction.

With what little info is available it will be a small val angle for most making the ball respond quickly to friction.

For me that is likely going to be 60 x 6.75 x 30 roughly. So it will have length, and low flare.

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

I don't claim to be the most knowledgeable, but I will say that it will make a big difference if your PAP is 3 over and 1.5 up, as opposed to 5 over and 1/2 down. No way to tell the drill angles and VAL angles or predicting ball reaction  without knowing your PAP.

Of course, there may be some on here with more knowledge than me that can tell me how you do it without this piece of information.
