I can imagine the 3" pin is to get the ball started earlier for the THS he bowls on. The 65* drill angle and 60* VAL should make the ball playable when the lanes dry out. With Motiv, i find that strong drill work well drilling them long and weak, unless you have a boat load of hand, makes them a bit squirty. Just my observation. Great ball throwing Leto!

Justin "Wi" gave me the layout. He does all the videos for Motiv. To be honest, I am new to the dual angle and didn't think anything of it when he told me to be at 3". It has a fairly low rg diff so I went with a stronger drill to compensate. Can't really drill to skid/flip bc ball is more continuous/smooth than flippy. Thanks for the compliments. I have recently got back into bowling after about an 8 year break. Like riding a bike.

3.375" is what I've been taught is the shortest length of "maximizing flare". Just what I've had experience with. It's not like it honestly matters to me as I will never have such short distances because of such a high track and anything less than 3.5" pin to PAP puts CG 4"+ from grip center and "legality" with static weights becomes an issue.
