Layout of Tommy Jones' Big Time
« on: February 28, 2005, 01:00:26 AM »
Was anyone able to find how Tommy Jones had the Big Time set up?  I thought I saw the pin under his ring finger.  No clue where the cg was.

I wonder why he's kicking the cg out so much?  CG doesn't matter I saw on this site.

Oh yeah to induce a weighthole.  I wonder why not stacked?

Am I correct: Looks like pin under ring finger with the cg close to his pap - can't see where the balance hole is though.

Are we all looking at the same picture?  Looks to me that the pin is above his bridge.  At any rate, it sure rolled sweet for him yesterday!  You could just tell he had a ball reaction the others did not.

The finger holes are under the pin.

Greg - Tommy puts his hand in the ball with his thumb sideways, then turns it clockwise to put his fingers in the ball.  His finger holes are hidden in the attached pic by his left hand.

Pin above bridge and cg out.  the finger holes are to the left of his LEFT hand.  He puts his thumb in first and lays his hand over the side of the ball then rotates his right hand 90 degrees to the right and inserts his fingers.  I wonder why he does this...

Pin is above finger holes on grip line.  Cg swung right for control on backend with Jones being a High Rev Player this is a good layout for him

High RG Forward Roll type drilling.

REgards,

Or just MAYBE, it's because it's Asymmetrical and he's swinging out the mass bias!!!  *gasp*

I see you had to bring this up elsewhere to make you look like the amazing intelligent person, huh?....
