I see alot of people talking about stacked leverage, and rev leverage, and so on and so forth. What do the different ones do? Here I'll make a small list of ones Im curious about. What type of reaction are they supposed to give you? I know its a "depends on the person" type thing but in general. If its too hard to explain in general, check my profile for my stats and just explain how they'd react for me.

1)Rev Leverage
2)Label Leverage
3)Stacked Leverage
4)Flip Leverage
5)Axis Leverage

AND WHAT IS A 360 DRILLING?!

Thnx again guyz.

i can answer 2, maybe three of those. stacked leverage is 3 3/8 by 3 3/8, the most unstable drilling available and one of the strongest (not earliest) drillings available. 315 (not 360) is where the cg is up and to the right of the pin, in negative 45 degree ratio from the pap to the pin to the cg, if that makes sense. this is supposed to give a very controllable read on the ball, and is supposed to be forgiving

axis leverage is pin on axis and cg in the leverage position. this drilling is supposed to roll very early. i dont know exactly what the leverage position is, but i would guess that it is stacked below and has a pin out of 3 inches? this doesnt really make sense with the way it would throw off the static weights, so im probably wrong. usually i just go by degrees, area of pin, mb placement, static weights, and inches from pap when talking about drilling, as all of these have an affect on reaction.

ya sorry about mixing up the pin axis and axis leverage, i always get those things confused. i never knew what leverage meant before this, when talking to my driller we always talk in terms of numbers, i dont know why.

So if I wanted a skid/flip (snappy) ball, I would wanna drill it stacked leverage? I mean, obviously the type of ball, and the bowler come in to account here, but again, generally this will give me length and a hard backend snap?
