Pin under fingers question
« on: August 09, 2009, 12:55:26 AM »
Im thinking about drilling a Attitude Shift with the pin under the fingers.
My Pap is 5 1/4 over 3/4 up. Is this considered high?
I know that if you have a high track the ball may flare over the middle finger.

I found this on a website: "There is something called "the safe zone" which is located above an imaginary line from the PAP to the middle finger.  If the pin is placed below this line, there is the danger of the flare hitting the middle finger.  If the pin is above this line, the ball is "safe" from this result."

But if the pin is below this line, can I put a x hole somewhere to move the bowtie and the flare away from my middle finger?

My PAP is in the same exact location.  However, you do have to take your axis tilt into consideration to really determine how high you track.  Using different releases and with different equipment, my flare rings can either be just an inch away from the holes, or more than two inches away from the holes.  So far I haven't had any problems with pin down equipment flaring over anything, but I also don't throw the ball like you.

I don't think you'll flare into the finger holes, but if you do a balance hole in the thumb positive quadrant, similar to the one used with the Rico layout, sill raise the bowtie and get you off the finger holes.  Of course, you do have to keep the static weights legal.  --  JohnP
