Layout on a Pro Purple
« on: December 07, 2003, 11:17:38 PM »
4-5 inch pin.....

I'd like this ball to be my control ball,......something that would even everything out when things get squirrely,...smooth, but not weak.....make sense?

Go ahead Sawheads, lay it out for me !

Do I go CG kicked right, label,.....talk to me

Jeff,

I am not too familiar with the PP, but if you e-mail doug sterner at dougsproshop@aol.com he is VERY familiar with it.  He could give you some really good info for you to consider.  He liked his Pro Purple, and would know what to do.  My "humble opinion" would be to go with a pin axis drilling for calmness and control, and CG near the palm, but that is an opinion

Jeff,

Speak with Charlest about this, he owned at least two of these and gave me a pamphlet on long pin lay outs.

If not PM T-GOD and he will definitely tell you how to layout the ball, or I could email you the notes he PMed me about this ball.  It's up to you but I'll need you're email if you want me to send them.

jeff, i just don't see how that kind of ball would help a bowler of your stature . . . it's a ball that is clearly within a hair's width of being a blem.

how's about you sell it to me?!?  i can't tell the difference!

I would try a CG on your axis, pin towards/slightly above your ring finger, hole on axis. Leave 3/4 side weight in the ball. This will be very controllable, but not too weak, IMO.

Another theory would be a 1:30 pin to CG, placing the CG slightly below the midline. Usually the 1:30 pin would be stronger on the backend, but later, which is why you'd want to keep the CG lower, for an earlier smoother reaction. =:^D

with that length of pin you could also put the pin above the bridge and cg kicked out....the pro is a very even rolling ball and this would be a good drilling

Looks like 1:30 is the drill of choice?
