Found my PAP... Does it mean anything?
« on: September 05, 2009, 11:37:33 AM »
5" over, 1" up..

Does the location of your PAP decribe what kind of bowler you would be?? Cranker, tweener, etc.. What kind of tilt?

I dont know much about it, are higher rev players typically further over? Lower revs close?

Thanks for any info.

About all it tells you is how far from your finger's and thumb your track is.

Tilt is only indicated by track diameter.

It tells you (and your driller) how your ball tracks.

Assuming he uses that information as he lays your equipment out, it will remove some of the guesswork. It's a good piece of information to have.

Congratulations. Now you can start drilling your equipment to get complimentary reactions.

You have the same PAP as I do.  All it really means is you're a high tracker.  The first line of oil you see on your ball probably falls right next to your thumb and finger holes, probably about 1 inch away, correct?  Also having a higher vertical PAP distance, means you need to be cautious of pin under drills, as you might have issues tracking over your finger holes.
From now on, you can have your balls drilled based on your Pap.  Pin to Pap distance, as well as MB to Pap distance to receive a specific ball reaction you're looking for.
