Tracking over middle finger. Does this affect roll?
« on: August 17, 2004, 10:07:04 AM »
Hey guys I drilled a new ball with a layout of pin under ring with the CG kicked out. I have an inverted track, and now it seems that I'm starting to track over a little part of my middle finger hole. Does his affect my ball reaction at all? Should I find a few to fix this problem or leave it as is? I never knew I was a high tracker before, but this lends me to believe that I am.

Thanks a lot Jeff. That was exactly the information I needed. I'll first look into the changing of my release to un-invert my track. There's already a deep weight hole on the ball so I'll try that first.

Something else to consider. If your ball is not dynamically spun with a marked mass bias that could be a problem also. At a seminar that I went to Mo Pinel was using a de-terminator to spin balls and where the mass bias should be was off as much as 4" on some balls. That is something you should look into also. See if anyone in your area has one and have it spun.

There is nothing wrong with an inverted track. If I recall correctly some1 stated b4 Brian Voss has 1. Don't take my word 4 it though. I also have been throwing with an inverted track lately and the ball is hitting like a truck. Its more of if your release matches up with your ball and the lane condition. I recently changed my release. Went from a very high tracker about 1/2 inch away to 1 1/2 inches and inverted. If you want the perfect release check www.bowl4fun.com click on Ron Clifton's archives of past tips and follow tip 20 exactly.
