It's the line straight up and down through your PAP.

I'd put a witty bowling slogan on here, but I'm not that good yet...

It's the line drawn perpendicular thru your positive axis point from your midline(line that runs horizontal, separating your fingers and thumb).

Hi X-Man,

If you're drilling a ball with a strong asymmetrical weightblock, (where mass bias diff is high) remember to place the mb accordingly.  It is very important in creating the proper reaction shape of the ball.  (i.e. roll early, roll midlane, roll late...etc)  Hope this helps....feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions about this, thanks.

ps. By any chance, there isn't still a Fred Jaske tourney around Green Bay is there?  I won it once when I was a kid, before electricity if I remember correctly.
