Tracking Over Thumb (Tsunami)
« on: December 10, 2006, 01:01:25 PM »
I don't have access to a camera right now, but I busted out a layout diagram in MS Paint real quick to see if anyone could figure out why my Tsunami tracks over the thumb. (Pin/CG in red, nugget in blue). I'd consider myself a power-tweener with medium speed. I stay behind the ball almost all the way through the swing with a little flick of the fingers at release if it helps.

Sorry for the quality, it looks like the ball saw a ghost. Anyway..

My Cobalts don't do it, and they are drilled label. Nothing special. The pin is about 2 1/2" on this ball, and I think it was 15.2 oz before drilling.

Would a weight hole on the side address it? I'm going to have my driller, who knows how I throw, take a look at the flaring on it. It goes over the hole pretty deep. My Cobalt Solid gets a little close to the thumb but never over it.

I had an issue with my C+ tracking over the fingers and thumb.  A properly place x-hole solved the issue.  I would suggest doing the same, but consult your driller he'll be able to help most.

I would suggest trying to increase the side and finger weights to around 3/4 each. A hole on the track side of the ball will be necessary. Top weight may also need to be reduced if it's over 1 1/2 oz. now. Too much top and not enough side and/or finger weight can cause the track to pull up on the thumb. =:^D
