Animal Drilling
« on: April 11, 2004, 06:04:51 AM »
I'm sure Excaliber and tenpinspro are getting tired of this one, but...

I have a 15# Animal on the way.  3" pin, 3 oz top.  I'm looking for something that gets through the heads pretty clean and makes a big move on the backend.  Looking for recovery.  I don't really have anything that really opens up the lane for me.  My specs and other equipment are in my profile.  I've read some of the other similar threads and plan on going back through them in more detail.

Seems like the most common recommendation was to put the pin where you normally have sucess and move the MB near the VAL.  That should work well for me since I've liked several balls with the pin just over my ring finger (4.25" from PAP) and kicking the CG right some.

I thought I remembered reading something about the Morpheus core lowering your track some and that pins below the fingers were preferred.  Can I get a clarification?

I was planning on throwing a game or so before deciding on the weighthole location.  Do the normal rules still apply?  On PAP for smoothing the reaction and outside PAP for more flare.  Should I have a target positive weight after drilling the weigthhole, around 1/2 oz?

I did a very poor job explaining myself above!

What I meant to say was my friend was struggling with everything on this shot particularly the 3rd game.  He even had an Animal that he struggled with.  He asked if I saw anything.

I said I did!  I asked him if we could drill an ANimal differently, ordered with the specs I wanted for his problem.  He said I've got it.

Voila, 760(first week), 805,300 second week.  This was his second Animal, first I layed out.  He seems to be pleased!

REgards,

PS I even like the Phenom Unleashed better for his problem but oh well!

Hey Strider,

Sorry for the confusion, I meant the Haus pads.  Thanks..
