Title: How Is Your 916 All-Terrain Drilled?
Post by: dark_rising76 on November 11, 2010, 09:33:36 PM: So many options for a ball that's this versatile. I'm going in the pro shop today or tomorrow to get mine drilled and might go with a pin above bridge and MB (polished) next to thumbhole or pin above/right of ring finger and MB near VAL (2000 abralon). Did anyone get a chance to try it out in league yesterday?

Post by: J Dubs on November 18, 2010, 12:15:10 AM: Have two of these...

Ball #1 Pin 5" to PAP x 3Â¾" MB @ 60degrees, XH 2" below PAP OOB SUrface

Ball #2 5" Pin to PAP x 5" MB @ 75deg, No Hole, LIGHT FF Polish

Definitely complimentary balls withthe surface prep and layouts. Ball#1 hooks more overall and has more of a move off of the spot, and is earlier. It's a strong ball with this drilling. Ball #2 is ALOT cleaner, even with the pin under, because the MB is 5" from the PAP and the 75 deg angle... and it has a hard arc off of the spot, rolls up hard and is very continuous. Awesome ball, go out and get one today.

Post by: Metal_rules on November 24, 2010, 10:48:18 PM: my 916AT is drilled similar to the #1 layout, the changes I made is the pin is under the fingers but still on the centerline, and the mb is 2 1/2" to the right of the thumb instead of 3". this layout still gets length, but not too long, and still comes back hard and strong. I also left the cover oob.

Post by: dark_rising76 on November 25, 2010, 07:35:28 AM: Got mine finally drilled on Tuesday, pin is about 2". above the ring finger, mb is 1" right of the thumb and got weighthole on VAL. It's got alot of pop on the backend but the layout is something I haven't tried in about 4 years. I did ok with it in league last night, not spectacular games because of two splits on my error but not bad for a trial run. It was a oily condition so I struggled with it getting to move the first 5 frames. I'm going to keep it OOB for another week and then try it with the polish after that. It's got more backend than my 920T but still longer in length than my 505T.
