Layouts for pancake blocks
« on: November 10, 2009, 11:54:44 PM »
It has been years since I have drilled any guts into a pancake blocked ball, and don't remember some of the older layout techniques.  Anyone who remembers cg and weight hole placements please chime in and remind me of some of the different layouts.  I vaguely remember liking a ball with a weighthole like 9 inches from the grip center, but I can't remember the specifics.  I'm just looking for some layout options for a plastic ball tournament I'm bowling in a few weeks.

I'm the man you're looking for. What type of reaction are you looking for..?

There were some CG leverage and some CG axis layouts with 9" holes that work very well. The CG leverage will start hooking earlier, better for more oil and the CG axis will go long and works well playing straighter outside lines when the lanes and/or backends are drier. Hope this helps. =:^D
