Title: how do you lay out your arsenal?
Post by: chitown on July 11, 2007, 09:02:15 AM
What's your approach to drilling your arsenal?

1. Some use the same pin location and layout on every ball and let the covers and cores separate the reactions.

2. Some will use the same pin location but change the CG and or MB location and add or not add a balance hole.

3. Some will drill each ball with a totally different layout (pin, cg and or mb location).

I like the #1 and #2 approach.  I have far better success using the same pin location on almost every ball in my arsenal.

I lay my stiff out base on what i want it to do. Also i take into consideration what the ball is suppose to do and what it is meant to be used on.

lately I've been useing asymetrical balls with the same pin placement but different mass bias locations and different covers.the different M.B.balls seem to give me a more defined reaction between early roll,length arc and skid snap.

i use a variety of bowling balls:  high load particle, aggressive solid reactive, aggressive pearl reactive, and mild pearl reactive. these balls are drilled fairly similar----label leverage. all of these balls have different surface adjustments( dull, smoothsanded, or polished ). the rest is up to me( axis rotation, speed control, angle of attack, etc. ).

I normally use one of two layouts.  For THS I use pin up balls with the pin above and right of the ring finger.  For sport shots and PBA patterns I use pin down balls with the pin below the ring finger and the MB at about 60 degrees.

There are slight variations from this, but that is infrequent.
