I’m learning more about dual angle drilling. I have a good grasp of the drill and VAL angles. Where I don’t follow is the PIN to PAP number. I know if the Pin is closer to the PAP will decrease flare but so will a larger number like a 5” PIN to PAP (symmetric).
So doesn’t flare affect the amount of hook? More flare equals more surface touching the lane, right? So if you didn’t want a sharp breakpoint which way should the pin be placed?
For a smooth ball motion which of the following would be best?
70 x 3 3/8 x 70
70 x 1 ½ x 70
70 x 5 x 70

Most cases, generally speaking without know your game. You would go with the smaller pin to pap, like a 2" pin to pap would do the trick.

I typically have success with 3-4" pin to pap layouts.. so drill was rolls best for me and utilize differ covers and cores to get the reaction I want.

To add one thing, in my experience don't be so focused on the dual angle measurements.

Pin-PaP is a larger factor along with cover and surface prep

Which is why I agree with whoever previously said to find a layout that works for him and change surface/covers and core to change your arsenal.
