To anyone who lays out their own balls?
« on: May 04, 2009, 03:11:44 AM »
what method of laying the ball out do you prefer to use?

I prefer to use the dual angle layout where you can really manipulate where the ball will roll.

In general, I use my Armidillo to map out Symmetrical core bowling balls to layout the pin and cg distance and for Asymetricals, I like to use the degree system mainly for Ebonite and Hammer.  I can map out Storm PSA diagrams pretty easy even though I don't have the Jayhawk Ball Compass which would make that easier.

Maping out balls is fairly straight forward me after you've done a few thousands. haha.

I find all the techniques to be about equal in ease of use.  Mo's dual angle has the advantage of being more precise in matching the customer's style to a suggested layout.  --  JohnP

but with the dual angle method you can manupulate where the ball will roll because you can easily predict where the pin is from the VAL


Or you can use pin height over midline. Everyone seems to have forgotten about that.

Pat etal,

The Dual ANgle method takes into account not only the pin-PAP distance but also the pin height above the midline AND the pin distance from VAL. That is what's so good about it.

This is the idea bluerrpilot was trying to get across. We know pin above the midline changes the RG to lower or higher and we know as you put the pin closer to the VAL the ball reaction at the breakpoint gets snappier sharper and and the further from the VAL it gets slower and longer. The DAL method takes all those into account.

For a given bowler and a given ball, and a given surface, you know precisely what your ball will do and the educated driller can do this for you, if he knows your game.

Unless the ball is a turd. No pattern will save it from becoming a spare ball.
