Rich, the pin would probably be 1-2" from your pap.  I would like to see how this rolls for you.  Bring it on Tuesday night.

Had a NoMercy drilled at another shop for a righty guy. Ball got into a quick roll, but never flared or flipped. The pin became a solid dot before the arrows and stayed that way till the pit. Ball did not hit well at all. Rolled nice and looked good until 3/4 lane and then just walked straight. As long as ball was heading toward head pin before 3/4 lane would make pocket ok, but if swung at all would not recover except for dry lanes. Would be ok for low rev down and in players, or heavy flatter patterns with flying clean backends where guys with some hand could go up the outer boards and not jump off the end.
But you never know how a bad looking drill can be majic for the right guy on the right shot.....ball is basically set up with core rolling like a rolling pin, and cover only making its move. Could be good.....or not. Al

Most likely the wrong layout, or possibly way too light of oil conditions for this monster.

anotherwindup,

   Most definitely this was a poor layout...but it looks just like the one DukeHarding picked up. This is by no means a dish on the NoMercy, I have 2 and have great results from both. I just wanted Duke to know what to expect. Al

The No Mercy was meant to make layouts easy for most proshop operators, but one of the drawbacks seems to be that it brought to light that MANY "pro"shop operators don't use the bowlers PAP to layout balls.    


(wow, was that the longest sentence ever?  Is it even gramatically correct?)   Oh, well.

I never threw the ball.
I buy from a lefty, who drills 2-3 of every hot ball, every month or so.

He doesn't like the hassle of selling them.
