Layout on a Tsunami
« on: April 18, 2006, 03:56:12 AM »
I have a Tsunami on the way.  Asymmetrics have been kind of hit or miss for me.  Symmetrics are pretty easy, I have a few favorite layouts and they always roll back up.  Sometimes with asymmetrics, however, I can get hook-stop reactions.  I'm wondering if this might be due to the fact that the ball sometimes doesn't rev up enough in the mids and burns up when it hits the backends with all that energy.  Or it could possibly be that I burn the energy too quickly.  I have a Classic Zone Red Pin and a Classic Zone Violet that are drilled very similarly (pin is a little higher on the Red Pin) and the Red Pin really rolls back up and keeps moving, but the Violet has a tendency to flatten out.  However, I do have different locations on the weighthole (flare reducing on the Red Pin, flare increasing on the Violet).  

I haven't had good luck kicking the psa out on asymmetrics, they've tended to flatten out too, but I've had weak pin positions, so I'm wondering if I go with a stronger pin and kick the psa out a little if that will make it roll back up.  However, those cores roll very strongly and very quickly, and although I want something to be above my stacked Smokin, I don't want it to be THAT much more.  But my ultimate goal is for it to hook earlier and more than the Smokin and roll back up instead of flatten out or stop.  I can work with it as long as it rolls back up.  My positive axis point is 5 1/2 over and 3/4ths up.  Suggestions?
