PIN UP LAYOUT WITH WEIGHT HOLE OVER FINGERS
« on: February 19, 2012, 12:16:50 PM »
I have seen people using some layouts with Weight Holes about their fingers ex)

weight hole is the "X"

 

             x

 

           oo

 

 

 

             o

 

can some one explain what this does as far a ball reaction and how to lay a ball out like this.

I have an RG ball with this drilling:      x           The x being the weighthole.

                                                        o  o

It is on an UltraSonic. High pin set-up, about three inches higher than the finger holes and about three and a half  inches to the right. My CG is in my ring finger. This ball is both smooth and long. On medium conditions it becomes a dart! But on most light oil is smooth and long with adequate backend. I got it drilled for a tricky dryish house I bowl in, but the backends are so toasty there that even this ball becomes a monster when I use it.

This layout was developed by Mo Pinel for the PBA Plastic Ball tournament in Long Island a few years ago. There is a entire article about it online. He explains the layout and reasoning in this article:

Likely not the same pattern as the one Mo used for the plastic ball challenge. Mo's pattern I always heard referred to as the Wiseman pattern from Danny Wisemans days at Hammer back in the old days with the pancake weight block urethane Hammer equipment. This was also done with none pancake weight block bowling balls with 1" pins or less. They would invert the cg above the pin and add the weight hole as needed to make the ball legal
 
This simply sounds like the driller wanted a pin up layout using a short pin ball and the end results is having to put the weight hole at or above the fingers. Nothing that complicated.
