Post Your Axis
« on: February 03, 2004, 06:37:37 PM »
Last night I re-taped a DT Barrage with my new thumb pitches to locate my PAP.  It took a few attempts but I finally got a lock on it. It appears my axis is 5-5/8 over and abuot 1/8th up.  Wow, that's a lot I think.

I drilled up an Anomaly with the pin over and just right of between my fingers, that places the pin at almost 6" away from my axis.  The ball goes loooong and completely lays off on the backend, considering what this ball is designed to do.  I have another one I'm going to drill with the pin about 4.5" from my PAP.  That one will be a LOT stronger.  Yay for me!

So... do you know your PAP?

I used to be 4-5/8" over and 0" up but I have since changed my release and now I am probably closer to 5-1/8" to 5-1/4" over and 0"-1/4" up. I don't know exactly what it is yet because I haven't had a practice partner besides my daughter (3) or my wife (won't help) so I am still waiting to find out exactly. Hopefully this week.

6-3/8 x 1/2 up. This is on a non-flaring ball (3-piece pancake or original 2-piece hammers).
On a high flaring ball the 6-3/8 figure will lower down to as much as 5-1/2 depending on the core design.

5-1/2 > x 1 ^

My track is nearly 98% as long as a full roller's track...
