TSA sharp break point layout?
« on: January 12, 2006, 02:50:10 AM »
I am trying to layout my NIB TSA with the sharp break point for low tracker. The sheet says 3 3/8" pin to pap and 4 1/2" MB to pap and Pin to midline 2" with pin under ring. I got all that right when I layed it out, (even the cg zone is right) but my only problem is the location of the MB. On the sheet it shows it being out past the VAL. Mine is gonna end up about 2" below the top of my thumb hole and about 1 1/2" right of thumb. Is this gonna make much difference in reaction? Is there a way to get the MB right of VAL and still keep the 4 1/2" MB to PAP distance? I am new to laying out balls, but I think I have the basics down. I pretty much did it the way that is described in this link. http://www.tunedballmotion.com/Example%20Layout.htm

the sheet is based on a certain pap measurement ...all bowlers, a lot will look different

the bowler you're drilling for is a low tracker, and I'm sure he doesn't have the same measurement as used on the drill sheets

The driller I am going to take it to does not have much experience with Mo balls and I have read thats crucial with morich. I just wanted to try and lay it out just like the sheet says and let him drill it. It is for me and my specs are in my profile. RH No Thumber,Pap 4" span 4 1/2". Speed 17.5-18.5 with tons of revs but mostly side roll.

ok that's fine......

but the spec sheet is for someone with a 5" or so pap ...look it up on Morich's site...you have a 4" pap...you're a low tracker so....your ball will NOT look like the drill sheet on the website......

But will it still have a sharp break point since the MB is not going to be very far out? I thought the MB controled the break point shape? The farther right the sharper turn? I'm just trying to make sure its gonna do what I want before punching holes in it.

NO! it's dependent upon the bowlers pap!  if the sheet says to put the pin and mass bias X length from the bowlers pap, then do it.  the drill sheet is a visual only and it's based upon someone who has a pap like me......not like you

Select low track sharp breakpoint, based on 4.5 inches from PAP.  Remember that when the ball is set up, the MB might not be out toward your VAL.  The picture on the website and the drill sheets reflect a ball with a perfectly lined up Pin, cg, MB.  If you take the drill sheet to your driller, along with a ball you currently are using, (so he can measure your PAP), you shouldn't have a problem.  Remember the PAP info is what you need the most.

Hey I have one more question. I think I am gonna recheck my PAP again tonight and see if I still have the same release and make sure my PAP has not changed. I'm gonna use the spinner method by tracing the track and putting the track side down on spinner and mark top center for pap. I can't remember for sure what line to trace. Is'nt it the oil line closest to fingers and farthest from thumb?

Other way around. You need the first flare ring. That's the one closest to the thumb and further from the fingers.

Glad I asked again Thanks
