Title: What will happen?
Post by: kingpin268 on June 13, 2005, 11:41:30 AM
I was thinking about a Time Zone with a pin to PAP distance of 3 3/8 and the mass bias(is that the PSA?) in a strong backend position. What can you expect on medium oiled lanes with clean backend. Stats are in profile.

For me. I already generate a lot of backend.  Ball was surpisingly mild and smooth with mass bias on VAL.

a friend with usually no backend put mass bias under thumb, wow!!! Angle finally.

And that's with leverage, as they call it? 3 3/8 pin to PAP i mean?

Yup, I agree. MB on the VAL = early and strong, for that ball.

WHen kingpin asked about a strong backend, I thought that would mean GENERALLY placing the MB around 5" from the PAP. That's the equivalent of a stacked leverage (both pin and CG 3 3/8" from PAP) drilling for a symetric cored ball. No?

Just like hand grenades and horse shoes, in bowling you only have to get close ...

Well, I can't comment on the ball since I don't have one, but, PSA isn't the same as mass bias.  PSA= preferred spin axis.  This is the axis around which the ball wants to rotate, and will flare to get to.  Us bowlers create our PAP at first, but the ball really wants to roll on it's PSA.

Do these balls have a mass bias then? As you can probably tell, I'm no expert in this field.
