So I purchased a used LevRG after hearing some great things about the ball. Got it in the mail on Tuesday and haven't had it plugged up yet. Looking at it, the only thing I knew was that the pin was above the fingers, and usually that means its drilled for length, right? Obviously, it wasn't drilled to my specs or to my hand, but I wanted to see just how it looked down the lane. It went DEAD straight. I guess these balls are really core/layout dependent huh? Threw it on a fresh 41 foot pattern, 2.5 to 1 ratio.

What I was wondering is, what layout do you suggest for someone who normall throws it 15-16 mph, with a slightly low rev rate ( I use a glove to keep my wrist from breaking back), with more forward roll. My PAP is 6 over and 1/2 up, and I have very little tilt (from what I'm told).

I'm looking for a layout that will help me on the longer, flatter patterns I see. Something that will pick up on a 41-44 foot pattern. Willing to play with surface, but more interested in what layout would be best. Thanks!

P.S. When I was throwing the used LevRG I could slightly hear it go over the thumbhole, and the track confirmed that. I also have a pretty high track (track real close the thumb hole)

How can I find where the psa marker is at?

Do you want me to find where it is, in relation to my grip? Rather, the grip thats currently on the ball?

Maybe this will help:

Its a picture of the ball I bought. I think the clover is on the bottom right of the first picture. Tell me if you can't see it!

it is their on the bottom right of the ball.

Is Your LevRG oob surface or has it been changed? to what if it has been changed?

if it is OOB I would go pin over ring or pin over bridge layout keep the MB close to your thumb.

with your high PAP and low revs it would get down the lane, the balls surface will get it to hook, that is what I would do anyway.

I had 4 LevRG's and started with 500 Abralon on all 4. They all turned shiny within 15-20 games. Great ball, but need lots of TLC in MHO.

I'm just hoping its not dead yet =P. It has about twenty games on it. Maybe I should do the hot water bath first. Hmm...

Besides my rotation, tilt, PAP, and what I wish the ball to do...what else must he know about me, the bowler?
