drilling advice for a green gargoyle
« on: September 01, 2009, 06:07:54 PM »
i just picked up a nib #16 pound 3-4 inch pin with 2.78 oz. of top weight. i have never owned or even seen one thrown. i am wondering how strong is this ball. i am looking for a ball to use on mediums to medium-light. is this ball a good choice for those conditions. for those of you that have thrown or seen this ball thrown how should i drill it up for the conditions mentioned. and what type of reaction can i expect. thanks in advance.

From what I know about the GG, with your rev rate, I'd say pin at 5" from PAP abover the fingers (would probably end up in the bridge are) and the CG stacked below in the palm, or slightly shifted to your PAP. Should, at OOB finish, yield good length and a snappier breakpoint for medium conditions and less.
