I was looking over the Legends website, and saw a layout called pin axis, with the pin on the PAP and the CG on the midline. What sort of bowler is this layout best for, what condition is this kind of drilling used for, and what sort of equipment is best to use it with, as I have never heard of this before

Thanks

Hey RC,

This layout revs very quickly and produces very little skid. Therefore, I only tend to do this for players with high tilt, some speed dominant players or bowlers who want a very stable roll.

Placing the weight block on your axis means the block is already laying sideways or is at it's psa (preferred spin axis) which means it basically will flare very little.

I use variations of this for myself when I want to control the backend motion of a piece. Hope this helps some...

Rolly... very smooth arc. Control setup, very good to blend out wet/dry problems.

i have a variation of this drilling on my blue vibe. except the pin is higher and the CG in on the midline under ring finger. very smooth doesnt jump at all. imo the best drilling around for a sport shot. works on everything.

For me, I only had success with this layout playing out. The closer to the gutter the better. For all the reasons that Tenpinspro gave. Very early, stable, rolly, smooth. Kept down the overreaction when smoking the crack. Let the line I played create my entry angle instead of the ball and/or hand motion.
