Recieved my Power Machine for $69.99 from Bowlers Paradise, have a question
« on: January 06, 2008, 02:04:48 PM »
The specs on my 15 lb PM are 3-3.5 inch pin, 3 oz.top, but the pin, cg and MB dont line up. It looks like this

----------P-------


----cg------------



----------MB-----

Will there be problems getting this ball drilled? I am right handed if that helps.

If your pap allows, you could put pin left of middle finger with cg in palm and the mass bias in the strong position...

To actually answer the question, that is great alignment for a righty.  You shouldn't have any problems getting that drilled.

He is correct. With the cg out of line to the left you limit the need of a weight hole with. Yet if you still need one you wont have to have such a large one.

Yeah with yours being a longer pin distance.. I would go pin up and just place the CG in your palm and put the MB near your thumb.. Should roll well..

That is about the same as Carls strong drilled on, that he shot his 300 with it last year.

Speaking of which, one guy went 279 with his old power machine Tuesday night. Threw the front 9 and then missed.

Great ball. I think I'll take mine out of retirement next week.
