I spoke to Galen from L/L about which drilling pattern best suits me. I don't know my PaP, axis tilt, speed, and rev rate. Would anyone know how or where i can get these numbers? I'm more of a cranker so i kno my rev rate is high and ball speed is a lil above average.

Is there anyway to determine my PaP and Axis tilt by looking at a layout of a ball that i like?

If I like the way a ball is reacting, should I drill all my balls with the same layout or should i change it up?

- Pro Shop measured my PAP.
- Mo Pinel once published a formula for obtaining the axis tilt from the bowler's initial ball track diameter in Bowling This Month magazine about 4-5 years ago. I used that formula.
- I estimated rev rate from comparison with other bowlers with known rev rates. CATS can measure yours if you're in Las Vegas or Florida.
- Ball speed is measured by several different houses with measuring devices on each lane. Those centers with Qubica lanes usually have built-in ball speed guns/devices, but at the rear of the lanes. Also obtainable from comparison with those with know ball speeds. Also can be measured with a stop wtach and a conversion formula to get an average ball speed. The lane is 60 feet long, from foul line to front (or center) of head pin.

Does anyone know where to get that MO chart NeverLearn is speaking of?  Could someone upload it and post if they still have it?
