Title: Same pin - cg shifting
Post by: Grayson on June 16, 2008, 09:15:06 PM

ok ok ok... this is by far not a try to revive the never ending debate about cg placement!

I just want some oppinions in respect to weighthole etc.

I have a ball with a shorter pin so I have to place it just under the ring but I can shift the cg and play around with statics.

my options are simply:

- label (putting the cg into the palm
- stacked (right under the pin with the little prayer that I need no X-hole and if it will be down my VAL
- shifting the cg 45° out to the right and needing a X-Hole up the VAL

so I guess... and PLEASE correct me if I am wrong:
the label drill will be the longest skid with strongest backend but not as strong as the one with the X-hole down the val and the X-hole up the VAL will tame the ball overall.. as well as hook and backend.

Right?

Just because you have a shorter pin doesn't mean you have to go pin under.

Depending on top weight, you can go above your fingers and drill out a finger to make it legal.

Your assumptions are correct as to X-hole placement, but the x-hole will only slightly change the shape of the hook, the pin placement is much more important.

in fact the ball has a very short pin... very short
the tw is around 2-3 oz... have to weight the ball first as I don't trust the markings and specs any more....

its a solid particle and I want a smooth look with a strong roll but not too freaky... this ball is meant to controll spotty lanes... oily conditions and carrydown o/u times.


Well I have a new plan and will wait till mid July as my friend will see a really good driller then and I will join him (longer journey good drillers are rare in Germany).

but thanks for the info!
