Is there anything bad about having an inverted track?
« on: August 17, 2004, 11:13:00 AM »
What I mean is, can it work against you on certain conditions? Does it limit your drilling options at all? (Like certain layouts causing tracking over fingers). So far I haven't run into any problems because of my inverted tracking release, yet many people want/tell me to change to a standard 3/4 roller (which I can do whenever I want anyway, but just prefer not to). It's what I feel comfortable with so I really don't want to change, but if it really will cause me problems when I venture to tournaments I will change to my 3/4 roller style and stick with it from now on.

Does anybody have any reasons to change, or is it all a big load of $h!t when people tell me I should change?

When the first oil track is closer to the fingers than to the thumb (inverted), the vertical PAP component will ALWAYS be negative (or down).  If your vertical component is positive (or up) your track is NOT inverted.  --  JohnP
