What will I get?
« on: October 14, 2004, 06:21:49 AM »
I'm picking up a Roto-grip Silver Streak Pearl and am considering how to lay it out.  Thinking of something like:

 
                P
           O  O

                     CG

                            PAP


             O


I have a similar layout on a Silver Diamond and it's very long with a big, violent left turn on the back.  Will this layout give me roughly the same thing with the RG SSP?  And I assume I'll need an x-hole, yes?

(on edit) What would be the difference between this and a 4.5 x 4.5 layout with the pin about even with the ring finger?

Most likely that type of layout would require a weight hole to bring the ball back to legal, of course this would depend on the starting top weight of the ball.  If the TW is higher, the weight hole size may be fairly large.  Generally speaking, the closer the cg gets to your PAP, the more midlane reaction your will notice.  This also tends to smooth out the break point.  These types of layouts usually are better for controlling over/under conditions and managing your break point.  This should lean more towards the arcing type reaction as compared to a stacked or label-type layout which would lean more towards the skid/snap.  

If you are getting a skid/snap with your silver diamond with that type of layout, then I would expect a similar (if not stronger) reaction from the SSP.  Of course this can be modified by altering the surface of the ball (a matte or sanded finish should smooth it out some).
