Ringer Drilling
« on: February 04, 2013, 03:06:25 PM »
Wanting to go long and strong. Prefer up the boards.

Have Versa pin above ring, get directly below.

Avalanche Slide pin just above and right of ring pin back towards center grip.

Versa too soft at times, Slide too snappy at times.

If I were to put the pin over ring at say 1 o'clock, where would I want the cg located?

Pap is 4 3/8 x 0.

If you drill it similarly to the versa-max, the ringer will go about 3-5 feet longer and snap harder. My Ringer is stronger than I expected, which is a good thing. It doesn't get affected too much with oil that has carried down the lane. The ball would be a good step down from the versa-max. As for drilling suggestions, I would keep the pin above your ring finger and put the cg between the versa-max and avalanche slide.  Or, you can put the pin at the 1 o'clock position and keep the cg directly below the pin.

Thanks,

I'm trying to find a drilling that will work for most conditions on my equipment to get a more predictable roll from ball to ball.

Same drilling, different surface, x-hole or not.

Well PAP is pretty much meaningless if you are looking  for a "benchmark" layout.  If you know your average ball speed, rev rate, axis tilt and axis rotation head over to forum.bowlingchat.net for a recommended benchmark layout.

I have a Misfit with my tweaked benchmark layout on it and it's very versatile. 

Plain and simple, a ball with your benchmark layout will do what it needs to do were it needs to do it.  An appropriate layout like this will give you a fairly strong indicator that it needs to be put away as well.
