Title: 180 Flip drilling? Anyone try it?
Post by: KDawg77 on May 07, 2008, 02:16:30 AM
Posting here, too, since "Drillings/Layouts" isn't getting much traffic.

Has anyone tried what I'm terming a "180 Flip" drilling? It's placing the actual pin 180 degrees away from a virtual location around your fingers on your span and the "virtual" CG will be 180 degrees from it's actual spot, too. Picture a pin up stacked CG drilling, but flipped. The balance hole to bring the bottom weight into spec would be placed in the actual CG area and misses your flares.

What would this give you and what conditions would it work on?

Thanks,

drilled a pearl Brunswick Avalanche with the pin in palm and the cg up and right of the fingers.The idea was for the ball to go longer with a controlled backend for drier lane conditions. I think the drilling you are asking about will do that also I have seen pin in balls drilled that way and thay seem to get more length also, but usually the pin is in the palm. But I have not seen a ball drilled with the pin up by the fingers, so I am not sure how or how much the reaction would change. I would assume more length, but you know what happens when you assume......
