Pin above or below
« on: June 23, 2005, 10:48:42 PM »
I'm getting an AI drilled up later today(cant wait). I'm having the pin below the ring finger for earlier roll(is this right)and a smoother delivery.I have a UI with the pin 1 inch above and a little to the right its more of a skid snap. As i dont have a great amount of revs thought this drilling below the ring finger would give me more of an early roll with a arcing finish. Let me know ive only a few hrs to decide...thanks guys

In our area the AI is a pretty darn flippy ball.

Pin above would increase this.  Pin below would tame.

Depends on your conditions.  If already flippy, don't increase!

This ball is quite a monster...too much usually in our area!

Supermo,

I usually have my equipment drilled with the pin under my ring finger because I have high ball speed and I want the ball to start rolling early.  However, when my pro shop drilled my AI, they drilled it with the pin directly to the right of the ring finger with a weight hole.  It gives the ball a smooth arc to the pocket...no overreaction what so ever.  This layout is very versatile.  It allows me to play down and in, and also the inside game.

Under bridge...hmmmmm.

Depends on PAP.

For some(low trackers with paps of 4 or less under bridge is avery strong drilling).

For super high trackers(pap of 6) under bridge is very weak.

Taking core out of play, put pin on pap or on track(often about 6 3/4 from pap).
Now the core is spinning right in track(no imbalance).

The stronger handed one is the closer one can get to putting core in track and getting some reaction.

Moi, medium handed but softer speed still gets mucho reaction pin under my MIDDLE finger!!!  6 inch pin to pap drilling.
