Dimension...
« on: October 29, 2008, 11:27:19 AM »
Alright guys, i'm going to be picking up a Dimension after moving a lot of equipment and having some dough to show for it now. I have a major slot for when the lanes are oily now that I don't have my Cell any more.

I'm in doubt of what layout to put on my Dimension, I have a Thunderstruck solid that I absolutely love and it is my 90% ball, i'm looking for the Dimension to react similarly but on much more oil.

My Specs:
15.5 MPH Ball Speed
Right Handed
290 RPM but it does fluctuate (I can increase this a lot but on most house shots that is my normal roll the ball release and it is sufficient)
PAP as of last measurement was 4-9/16" > 3/8"^
Lower Tilt and Higher Axis Rotation

My Thunderstruck Solid is layed out 4" Pin to PAP, 2" Pin Buffer, and CG is also 4" from my PAP, this ends up with the pin up above my ring.

I'm personally thinking of matching the pin placement on the Dimension but kicking the CG out to allow for a weight hole to fine tune the reaction.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks,
Mike

P.S. Yes I will be consulting with my driller before I punch this up but i'm just looking for some ideas ahead of time.

I would lengthen the PIN-2-PAP slightly

(say 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch)

The core is much heavier rolling, and the extra length will keep it similar.

kick the CG out,, and keep the weight hole (if necessary ) small, that way if you want to tune it, you can deepen or widen it.

just my .02

From what I've seen....

Pin ups are OK
Pin downs are MONEY!!!

Remember this is just a generality... it really depends on how you throw the ball and what the condition is.

I took a compromised approach to my Dimension, it's pin in ring...roughly 4.5 pin-to-pap...talk about a ball that goes into a heavy roll, jeez.  Once it turns, it just never quits, it's insane.  And it's easy to tell when the ball is either rolling too late, or rolling out.  Great piece
