Rick is dead on about the Contour rings/planes. There was an extensive article in Ebonite's Pro Shop Insider that Rick and I were on the cover of.
Now, this is not saying that 4 inches is leverage.....3 3/8 is leverage. What this is saying is the 4 inches from PAP gives the best overall motion compared to different pin to pap distances.
These contour planes are also the reason that you get identical ball reaction when you shift the MB 180. This was discussed earlier in this thread when I said I wanted to SEE it for myself. I always want to test things...not just for my knowledge....but so I can also get that knowledge to pro shops and bowlers alike. Remember....often times I drill 3-4 for one ball so I can give an honest thought of the ball with a layout like that or simliar.
The trick layouts will be on the website available for everyone. The powers that be realized that this was a mistake and have elected to change their original thought process. Once again we (Track Bowling) are doing what the people want.
I understand the frustration that everyone voiced, and honestly I would have felt the same way. I hold no hard feelings and hope that you all feel the same way.
This technology is something folks, and it can do nothing but good things for the future of bowling equipment.
