Widow Pearl Layout
« on: September 22, 2007, 01:51:14 PM »
I am a bit confused so maybe some of you Hammerheads can help me out here.

First off I am a high tracker (5-1/4 right 1/2" up) and I have problems with equipment drilled pin under the ring to PAP line. I had a Carbide+ that rumbled the thumb even with the pin over the bridge, had a SUperNova rumble the holes with pin OVER middle, had a solid uranium with pin under ring that I had to add a lot of tilt to keep it off the holes and others. Pin in palm area has never worked either....pin in balls, forget it.

Now I got a BWP in a trade deal with the pin under the bridge, mass bias kicked out at 5:00 to the pin with the cg 1" right of the thumbhole. This ball does NOT hit the thumbhole. WHY NOT??????

The ball hits like a truck and rolls so dang sweet it's silly....is it the ball or the drilling?

HHHEEELLLPPP!!!!!!!
Anyone have any ideas????

You know it's funny, I have a pretty high track as well. I also struggle to use anything with pin under drillings, as I roll like, half way through the thumb. A couple years back though I threw a guy's Zone Classic that he had for sale, pin under bridge mb kicked out right. anyway, i threw it expecting thump thump thump...nothing! Couldn't believe it! Nobody could explain it, didn't happen before that, and not since...

UNTIL I threw my buddies BWP! same drill as the ZC was. (which I'd thrown on a TON of balls, all of which rolled over thumbhole) Still don't dare drill any of my own stuff like that though, my luck it'd be exactly the same and thump like crazy! It's nice when you run into one though.

I used to have this problem as well, and was always afraid to use anything with a lower pin position.

I'm convinced it's because of the asymmetry in the ball. Since using almost all asymmetrical equipment, I have never rolled over a finger or thumb hole, then again I do have a lot of tilt.

IMHO, It's the ball.
