Title: What can you tell me about this drilling?
Post by: zeusjr on March 15, 2006, 10:28:06 AM: I got my Silver Diamond in the mail today from DrillLord (BTW, excellent seller). Upon opening the package, I noticed it was drilled exactly the same as the Cranberry I had bought several months ago. So now I'm pondering why this drill pattern might be so popular, as I got the Cranberry from someone else.

So what can you tell me about this drilling?

Firstly, both drills are entirely different.

Ok maybe I should have said look exactly the same.

Secondly, no one knows what its going to do without the PAP co-ordinates, however a guess, based on a pap 5 over, 1/2 up, would have these balls rolling earlyish, with strong hook potential. The bigger X-hole will allow a quicker breakpoint shape.

Well since neither ball was drilled originally for me, I would assume the PAP would be different wouldn't it? So any which way it would be a guess.

Post by: Sawuser on March 15, 2006, 07:20:58 PM: I personally don't believe it will matter what your PAP is. That is a label drill with about a 2 o'clock pin & it appears the weight holes were needed to remove finger weight. The silver may even have neg side weight. Typically a pin shift like that with cg close to palm will add length & have a good strong backend. I have a cranberry with pin just outside ring & cg in palm & that ball goes long with a very strong backend.

I agree zeus, the drillings are indeed very similar.

Post by: ChinaManB on March 15, 2006, 08:59:11 PM: Yup....Label Drill

This drilling kicks azz on balls with the diamond core in my opinion.

Ball will be even,strong,and continious.

Post by: Carolina Kingpin on March 16, 2006, 01:02:42 PM: This type of drill pattern (absent the balance hole) is commonly referred to as a "label" pattern because the cg is in the palm. Whether or not it is "label-leverage" depends on your PAP, because the term "leverage" denotes a pin approximately 3 3/8" (the leverage position) from your PAP. If you are a high-tracker, then those pins in the pictures are pretty close to the leverage position.

Placement of the cg in the palm is popular because it generally doesn't require a balance hole. Label drills are often used as a default for those who don't know how they want to lay the ball out. Swinging the cg around clockwise from the pin has the effect of adding a little length.

I've had very good luck with label drillings on a Black Raspberry, Blueberry, XL, and Pearl Carbide. I'm a high-tracking stroker/tweener, and this drill pattern results in a controlled reaction with a good backend for me.

Post by: novawagonmaster on March 16, 2006, 06:10:42 PM: I, too, like the label 1:30 drillings on the diamond core balls. Long and strong is what I have noticed... they provide a good continuous move on the backend. I also like the stacked drills on the dimaond core balls. Only one of my diamond core balls is drilled pin under with the cg out, and that is the only one I struggle with. I plan to have it plugged and redrilled stacked.
