Favorite Layout
« on: April 29, 2009, 08:31:53 PM »
I was wondering if any of you fellow BR'ers have any favorite layouts that you put on a your equipment.  If so, what are they?  Discuss why you use said layouts.

I've personally never had two balls laid out the same, wish I could find a couple layouts I can stick with.

H8tedbowler, do you normally choose pin up or down, or does that vary with the strength of the ball(i.e strong ball pin up and weaker balls pin down)?

pin-chaser, just curious, would a RICO layout qualify as a strong layout or is it dependent on what that makes the pin to PAP?  For me it'd be around 4 5/8".

Greg, point taken.

I like to use between 3.5-5 inch pin (depending on what ball i am drilling).
I usually use the same MB distance as my pin distance.

for a stronger drilling i will go for something like 3.5 X 3.5 + 1 15/16
for a weaker drilling i will usually go for 5 X 5 + 2 3/4
for my benchmark drilling i will normally use 4.25 X 4.25 + 2 5/16

If i were to fine tune the ball I will normally make surface alterations instead of weight holes but if i were to use a weight hole it would probably be on the stronger ball and past my axis by abour 2".
