The purpose of the step is to recommend a drilling based on Bowler Data, Lane Data and Ball Data                                     Bowler Data Summary         3.5            
Lane Data Summary         6.0            
Ball Data Summary         3.5            
                             Based on the Data Matchmaker recommend Drill #                  JUST FORGET WHAT DRILL #, JUST QUIT ALREADY   


Nelson, I typed in my info and it told me to quit.  Is that normal?

pretty cool concept... 375 max rpm is a little low if you ask me... plus my bowler power number is only 2.5 which seems low lol

nice tool though

You can always use a # that is off the scale for rev rate, if highest most revs is a 1 you can use Zero

After you entered lane data maybe it meant that you should quit bowling at the particular house which that number was based on.

Ryan the lower a # the stronger a bowler is as far as power #'s.  The lower a # the less length the bowler creates, slower speeds, higher revs would be earlier than higher speeds less revs.

Is it just me or are the suggested layouts for early, medium, and late transitions always 6, 2, and 4 inch pin to PAP respectively?  The angles do change but the the pin distance still doesn't seem quite right.

I would suggest to use the pin distance I have placed under the drilling #'s.  I will delete that today because that was for my own use.

   Can you provide some instructions? And/or some greater reasoning behind the calculations?

Start on sheet Introduction.  It is rather easy, and the reasoning behind my choices will take to long.
