Drill patern
« on: June 03, 2009, 02:27:21 AM »
Hi guys, I'm down in mexico city and i have a question hoping that some one could answer. What out of all the drilling patterns available seems to be the most "forgiving" one?, What I mean is wich one let you make not as a god shot (pull the shot or drop the ball  a little) and get a fair result out of it?
Thank you guys
ps. If you can print a diagram I would realy appreciated.

No rule of thumb - it even depends on the ball and its core type.
Basically, a no-brainer for symmtrical core balls (NOT the Cell and alike) is a label drilling: CG in the center of your grip, shifted 1/2" towards your PAP, and the pin in a drilling-safe position around the ring finger hole. Yields a good mid lane reaction with a tame back end, easy to control. Not a setup to hook across the lane, but works on various conditions and for almost any player style. Just not recommended if you have a track near the holes and with balls with a strong asymmetrical core - the ball could flare backwards and show a funky reaction...

Another thing that might help you (with symmetrical cores) is this: http://marketing.lanemasters.com/LM_Ball%20Drilling%20Instructions_09.pdf
