Layout Help.... X-Out
« on: November 09, 2014, 03:30:38 PM »
Recently bought an AMF Solar Flare X-Out at an exceptional price.  The ball was an X due to cg/mb alignment.  Figured that I could make the ball work with some type of layout tweak (want to give this ball a try.).  When it showed up, I was rather surprised with the cg location (assuming the cg is indeed correctly marked).

Any ideas/suggestions for a right handed layout that would not kill ball reaction (PAP is 5 1/4 over and 3/8 up).  I see either a very weak MB location (in track) or a huge weight hole near ring finger.

Or should I punt on this one and find a lefty to take it?

Check sttics to make sure the cg is correct. If it is.....sell to a lefty.

Wow. That is a HUGE Cg right shift. If it's right and you're a righty, it is useless. Sell it to a lefty as kid suggested.
