My pro shop has me down with a negative track.  I know that I track closer to my thumb than my fingers.  I believe they have my PAP as 4 5/8 over. 

 

Regardless of whether my PAP is correct or not, does anyone know in general what tendencies are true for negative trackers like myself.  It seems like most equipment I throw has a tendency to get easy length with lots of backend regardless of  ball type and finish?  I just recently started setting my equipment up with pins below my grip and have really liked the reactions.  I don't even know if I can drill a pin up ball anymore because I'm pretty sure I'd have to drill out the pin with my ring finger to be at 5" alone.

 

I find it odd that my two strongest balls are actually my least hooking balls.  A 505T drilled 50x4x40 and a Hyroad drilled 45x3 3/8x 45.  The hyroad especially revs and revs and revs and then fizzles on the backend of the lane. 

 

I'm just having a hard time picking layouts for my equipment without wasting money on poor reactions.  Sorry for the long post and again thanks a bunch!          

Stopped in at pro shop today and saw my PAP is listed as 4 5/8 right 3/4 down.  I may have my track flare location  wrong on my first post but that is where they have my PAP based on having me throw a few and marking it with a grease pencil. 

 

I'm just trying to understand what tendencies a "negative" axis point has so I can pick better layouts in the future.  We've struck out on 2 balls so far and I'm not willing to continue throwing money away.

 

Thanks
