Don't forget the 2 X 2...I did.
« on: August 04, 2006, 06:00:03 AM »
I remember when I first got Revolutions 2.

In there was a drilling favored by Steve Jaros for fresh shots on PBA conditions.

Fortunately I thought it might be good last night.

Unfortunately I didn't use it until the last game!

The shot was heavy oil on wood with jumpy backends that somehow got jumpier as the night went on!

This 2 X 2 with a weithhole 2 inches past my PAP on my ring finger PAP line(triangle drilling)  Was early and even on my old Track HEX and then described a strong smooth board coverage on these jumpy backs that knocked the hole rack straight back!  EArly and then less on the back.

I also had my old sledgehammer with a 3 3/8 X 2 with a large weighthole on the PAP and though this controlled the pocket beautifully it had less pop and left a few flat 7s.  Unfortunately picked it up late 3rd game and had 5 of last 6!

Almost had a 300 with it last year...why did I put it down on these heavy wet heads and jumpy backs!  Smooth and strong board coverage on a sloppy wet crown!

REgards,

PS also compared to a Panic drilled  4 X 4 and Panic didn't have it for this shot!

2 x 2 = one of my favorite layouts.  2" pin to CG laid out in a triangle w/ PAP.  Eveerything I used this on has been even, predictable, and smooth.  I don't know why I don't drill all my stuff this way.

I know why I don't...no midlane oil...this drilling hates that shot(my other house)!

The lefties were really struggling last night until this lefty pulled out that drilling and all of a sudden the shot looked easy...for one!
