Title: BWP Drill Help for Wife
Post by: jodyk24 on December 14, 2007, 01:00:43 PM

I have a Black Widow Pearl coming for the wife and it will be a 14.3 total weight with 3 oz. top weight and 2 inch pin. She has a slow ball speed around 11 or 12 mph with a higher track. Most of her equipment has a nice controlled hook and she likes to play down and in on the house shot around the 8 to 10 board area. We would like to hear from some lady bowlers or anybody that would like to give us some suggestions to lay this ball out.

thanks,

What other equipment does she have?  How are they drilled?

Is she looking to compliment another ball in the arsenal?

                                                                                My wife's arsenal is at this time Columbia Action Max,Columbia Big Shot and WD spare ball. She still uses her Track Blue Heat which seems to work better on carry down. The Action Max is drilled with CG out under ring finger and with a 3 inch pin brings the pin to the right of ring finger. all of her equipment is drilled label with pins 1:30 or 2 o'clock of right finger nothing fancy. After looking at the drill sheets for the Widow pearl the arc drill looks like it might be a good dill for THS. From what I have seen on most of the BWP's hook big time on THS with the #1 drill or similar drill.

Since everything is drilled label leverage and you said she was a high tracker, I'd assume that those pin placements are around 3 to 3 1/2 inches from her axis.

I'd drill the BWP with a 5" pin to pap(yes, you'll have to find the axis or have a proshop guy do so) this should put the pin above the bridge for a high tracker.  Place the mb near the thumb for a more angular move or on/beyond the val for an earlier more stand up arc move.
