Little backround..Im trying somethng new, I may be wrong but please correct me if my thinking is not right. Generally most balls I use have a 3-4inch pin and recently ive been tracking almost on the thumb, its CLOSE. Oil line will catch the thumb, not bad enough that you hear anything or see the ball bounce while rolling on the thumb, but still...it seems to catch it a bit. I drilld up another ball with a shorter pin, maybe 2.5 inches? and I dont have the problem, IVe got about a solid inch or so from the thumb, and get a MUCH better reaction out of the ball (its an NVD pin under ring finger (short pin) vs a Virtual gravity ping above bridge(longer pin)
What im wondering is using a shorter pin, if I decide to drill it pin up its going to put the cg REAL close to my insert. Wondering if this is going to hurt my reaction at all having that short pin above the bridge, or if I should stick to putting the pin under being its shorter.
Was also thinkin bout trying a RICO layout..I throw the ball hard, usually around 17.0-17.5 Decent rev rate sorry but I wouldnt know the number at all. I tend to drill most balls pin just over/under, anything that rolls later I do pin under just to get it started a little earlier due to the speed, my VG for example is pin over, duller stuff I put it over. I know its been discussed to death but anyone wanna let me know how that rico would compare to my pin over/under drilling on something aggresive? Also does it have to be a symetrical ball for the rico layout to be used?
