ball track question.
« on: November 16, 2005, 05:25:09 AM »
I know this is the wrong forum but I posted this a while back on misc. and didn't get a response.  I have an inverted track.  It's not inverted by a lot but my track is closer to the fingers than the thumb.  What causes this?  I don't mind it because my ball reaction is fine with me but was just curious what causes an inverted track.

For some reason, I get this with my Rule also.  It tracks close to and sometimes over the Ring finger hole.  I think it has something to do with the drilling on it since I don't have the problem with myother equipment.  I'm interested to see the responce to this also.

I get this on all of my equipment.  My equipment is all drilled different.  I know it has something to do with my release.  I don't feel it's a bad thing at all.  I get great pin action with my release.

I have seen it mostly it high rev players. Dont know how true it is but I was told it came from an extremely quick exit from the thumb and excessive hitting up on the ball.

My youngest Son has an inverted track. In his case it seems to be
accentuated by low pin drillings so most of his balls are drilled
with higher pin placements.

If he needs a ball to start up early he picks a ball that inherently
has that quality built into it's geometry and coverstock.

Like yourselves he seems to suffer no ill effects from his release. I
know he constantly kicks my rear end.

OG1 That makes sense because I have a good amount of revs and do have quick wrist action.  I guess I hit up on the ball also but feel like I drive my fingers thru the ball.

Hey chi,

I have a handful of guys who are inverted and I also use to throw an inverted track.  My "personal" (could be wrong) take on this is that it is created when we hit back "thru" the ball vs just going "around" the ball.  At the actual point of release, our hand physically turns slightly clockwise vs most people who continue motion counter clockwise.  For the guys who tend to throw inverted tracks, their wrists are also at least firm to cupped a majority of the time before release but it is not necessary.  This is the best I've observed.

However, with high tech blocks of today....I've seen tracks move in all directions dependent upon placement to pap.

This makes sense in my case as the pin on my Rule is not only below the fingers, but is also a short pin.  It is the only piece of equipment that I do it with.  It rolls great though and hit hard.

Rick I think your correct because I don't come around the ball a lot but more thru the ball.  For me i'm able to rev it up but also am more accurate with less side roll.
