Hey everyone...well, the countdown is near. There should be a 15# Track Slash arriving on my doorstep around around Thursday of this week. I'm planning to use this as my Benchmark Ball.

Specs on this ball: 15.4lbs - 2.75 TW - 3" pin

I'm a High-Tracker (5 1/2 over & 5/8 up) *stats in my profile*.
This ball will be my smoother rolling ball. I'm thinking of Pin under the bridge or ring with with the CG kicked out a pinch just right and above thumb. I've had a an Ebonite Excel with a similar type drilling, but that was asymmetrical and the MB was in the strong position (too much ball for most mediums). Rick will be drilling this at his shop, so I would love to hear from him and everyone else that wants to chime in!

I figure if I keep the pin under the bridge it would keep the ball from "Jumping" off the backend. If the lanes are a little slicker, I can square up. If the backends are pretty fresh, then I can just accomodate by moving left.

Thanks guys & gals!
Regards,
Ram

ram,

I think that layout would be good for what you say you want. Alot of that would be determined by the lane conditions you are going to bowl on. General thoughts on that layout though are: it is going to give you a smooth reaction throughout the entire lane. A nice smooth arc and the slash is not going to be too jumpy off of the backend.

Rick, you read my mind hehe. I was talking to Dan (DPat) yesterday and told him that I might have to jump on the bandwagon! Talk to you soon.
