Asymmetrical Storm Pro Pin
« on: September 20, 2006, 04:42:32 AM »
are they blems with diffrent names ?
since strong PSA ball don't matter much with Cg then why call it pro-pin?
why even have cg marking? or 2 inch pin vs 4 inch? whats diffrent 45 degree drill with 2 inch pin vs 45 degree with 5 inch pin?

I think with the asymmetricals, the pin-cg-mb are usually way out of line, almost dictating right handed or left handed balls.  If you are right handed and get one with a 3+ top weight and the CG 2-3" out of line to the right of the pin-mb line, you'll probably need a huge weight hole to attempt to get it legal with any "normal" drilling.

When the cg is out of line from the pin and mb, it is called a PRO CG.  If it is a PRO PIN, the cg is still in line (or not far off), but the distance to the pin is around 5 inches or more.  That is still a factor in the layout as it will affect where and how large/deep of an extra hole will be needed.

With pro pin balls, a hole may be needed in the thumb quadrant or the pin will need to be well above the fingers.  With a 2-3 pin out ball (depending on bowler's span), the driller has a little more flexibility with layouts and extra hole positioning.

They are still limited drilling wise just like pro-pin symmetrics.  The CG may not "matter" in determining reaction characteristics due to the strong PSA, but it sure as heck influences static weights.  A 5" pin ball probably with a "normal" amount of top weight probably can't have the MB swung out too far because of excessive side or thumb weight.
