Title: X-HOLE QUESTION!! Please Help
Post by: BrunsWolf on December 02, 2006, 01:33:06 PM: I have recently had a debate with a driller that said if you draw a line from the PIN past your PAP, and put an x-hole on that line (close to pin, or far from) that the ball will be more "stable" and is a "better idea when looking for more control while taking out weight"

Naturally, I belive (know) he is wrong.

I told him that that idea is bull(the whole on the line crap)and told him that the x-hole's location from the PAP is the only factor in altering reaction and not from the pin or anything else (now, guys i do realize that the CG location tells you how much to take out or how much you can take out, but i think you understand what i'm saying)

He still disagrees because "i'm just a 16 yr old jack&$% who knows nothing about bowling and much less about drilling." (ouch)

This comes from a person that i don't even trust to lay out my equipment, he is just there to drill. I do everything else myself

Thats the story.

So thats why i'm here!!! To get your insight and proof so i can walk up to him, look him in the eye, and tell him that he has one less customer!!!! I customer with very heavy pockets for equipment at that!!!!

Brunswick seems to think it makes a difference,

Post by: BrunsWolf on December 02, 2006, 10:19:18 PM: yes, i know about x-holes, yada, so-on and soforth, etc. but my question is in regards to the x-hole placement on the line from the pin to pap and it's "supposed" effect.

Post by: leftehh- LG on December 02, 2006, 10:24:25 PM: A balance hole past your Axis point tends to flare more, causing the ball to hook more. I beleive it could smooth out a ball depending on what type of ball it is.

Post by: BrunsWolf on December 03, 2006, 01:05:07 PM: thanks ric,

your reply made perfect sense to me anyway. i thought an x-hole on a line from the pin through the PAP would have some effect rather than just a random x-hole (but i would have never guessed bow-tie consistancy)!!

That brings up another question, would an x-hole perpendicular to the PIN to PAP line create the most inconsistant bow-ties????? Just an assumption.
