Title: Question for the pro shop
Post by: okfixer on February 22, 2011, 09:24:20 AM
If a customer requested layout #2 (718A) on a ball, and you drilled it closer to layout #1, why would you do this? The pin is above and to the right of my ring finger. Is the skid/flip still a option with this layout?

Layout suggestion are merely that. It is pin distance to PAP that dictates reaction and whether pin up or pin down.

To add to what Rico said, just because your layout doesn't look like the picture doesn't mean it wasn't drilled correctly.  If you chose a picture with a 4 X 4 and 2 " pin buffer (or whatever the dual angle layout), it may not look like the picture simply because of you PAP measurement.  If you don't know your PAP, you need to find out what it is.  If your pro shop doesn't know it, they need to get it for you or you need to find a different proshop.

To add to the above, this is why when drill sheets show you layout photos they always list "this photo is shown to you based of a PAP messurment of", that is because not everyone has the same PAP. Some proshops dont understand PAP messurments and they just match the photo and that can lead to the ball rolling bad.

The picture on the drill sheet means nothing.
