Xception drilling
« on: November 30, 2004, 10:29:13 AM »
Hello everyone I have a question about drilling my new Xception. First let me tell you that I throw around 20 mph with very high revs. Stand on 30 to 35  roll over 15 slide out to 7 and in the 1,2 pocket. Thats with my Xtreme from storm specs. 3 1/2 pin. finger holes even with pin 1 1/2 away cg in palm of hand thumb next to RAD.I don't know the PAP.With this layout I get a very strong midlane reaction with nice backend. O.K back to the Xception I know its going to go long I just don't want to over power it .I'm looking for the strongest backend reaction I can get out of this ball. My local proshop drills balls great as far as fitting goes but layouts are another story!!Also I bowl on synthetic lanes with medium oil with medium carrydown.I hope thats enough info for someone to give me some ideas. Thanks

leftykingpin,

There are some layouts that may get better backend, but the first Xception I drilled up for myself was drilled with the pin above the ring finger and MB just right of the thumb. PAP position means everything-----for me the pin where it is placed is 4-4 1/4 from PAP MB 4.5 or so from PAP. I have never thrown a ball that has a backend as strong as this ball.

Hey lefty,

I think both Ex and I have had pretty good success with the Rev Lever core at these distances for most.  I also have mine at a 4 1/8pin by 4mb and it offers a fantastic backend reaction when my Rule starts to get a little too strong for the heads.

I'd suggest pushing your pin distance back some (to about 4.5-5 inches)compared to your Xtreme but you can keep the mb in relatively the same position for length and backend.  Hope this helps some...
