this may be a dumb question, but i want some opinions on pin up and pin down.
please chime in with your thoughts.

i was wondering if you drilled 1 ball with:
4 1/2", pin up, 75*, 2000 abralon

and another one

5", pin down, 75*, 2000 abralon,

would you get a similar reaction? i thought that maybe since the pin distance had enough difference, that the pin above would possibly read like the pin down, since the pin up was closer to the pap.

looking forward to your responses

thanks for the info!

My only suggestion to your post is to check out the Morich site and read up on Dual Angle Layouts...it is also in an archive copy of BTM or BJ dont remember which one.

Mo Pinel goes on to explain that the Pin to PAP distance controls track flare whereas the dual angles explain movement on the lanes, fast or slow response times to the backend and overall reaction shape.

If I were to explain it in grave detail this message would be pages.

Look into it.It may answer your questions in more depth.

I would guess that the longer and lower pin would give you a smoother overall hook shape.  The stronger higher pin would read the dry a little harder.  On flatter patterns, it might be a good 1-2 punch as the transition occurs, provided you have the space in your bag.  On a house shot, you probably wouldn't be able to tell much.  Unless of course, you're talking about my BW Bite, in which case moving the pin 3/4" would make roughly a 20 board difference.*
