High flying back ends and the best way to control it?
« on: March 19, 2006, 05:52:20 AM »
What is the best wat to tame down high flying back ends?  I'm talking about a light oil sport type pattern with over reacting back ends.

What kind of ball would you use on this type of condition?  What layout would you use?

Also can the use of a balance hole help control high flying back ends?  If so where is the best place for it?

I wouldn't say particle pearls are better.  Depends on some factors but particle pearls still may not blead off enough energy.  There are some very angular particle pearls out.  It really all depends on chi's environment.

Also, if any oil migrates down the lane, pins close to the axis lose hit and if the fronts start going, they lose hit even more.  They may have a limited use if scoring is a consideration (vs just getting to the pocket).



This is what I was worried about when everyone was jumping on the pin axis bandwagon.   If the heads go at all the ball will roll and hook in your backswing, and you will have no HIT down lane.  

Does no one use 6", or greater, pin to PAP distances?   I do.    I put the pin at 6", rotate it up to 4" above the Center of grip.   This will get down the lane good, and still have plenty of energy to return.

I have tried using 6" pin to pap drillings but I have yet to get one that does not roll through the fingers. I have a very high and inverted track so anything past 4 1/2" has not worked. Maybe it will work with a very high pin placement.
