I have a G-3 Gryphon coming, thanks to a trade.  Anyway I am wondering how I should lay this out.  I am a lefty with a slightly inverted high track, a high pin is my main option.  My average speed is 16 mph using qubica.  I'm not sure of my rev rate but I get a good amount of hand into it.  I was thinking that the coverstock will help get the length so I figured I'd use a 60*, 4"-4 1/2" pin to pap, probably a 20* angle to the val.  I haven't thrown one and am unsure what to expect.  What do you think?  My Ogre Pearl and Immortal pearl are drilled with the pin above the ring finger and the cg slightly kicked to the left.  The FMG has the pin next to the ring finger and the cg kicked to the left an inch to inch and a half

tommymo,

Where is the G-3 supposed to fit in your line-up?

Being a lefty....diz's suggestion of pin next to or even under is probably OK.  Depends on how much length you want out of it.  Does the IP over flare and you are losing punch?  

The older one, I have is pin over bridge 5" pin to PAP but what I use it for is broken down heads and an inside ball.  I'm going to order another one as I have used my older G-3 quite a bit.  It still flares around 4"-4 1/2"'s with a weaker 5" layout and hits very well.  

It will kinda depend on how you want to use the G-3.  I use mine on an inside ball and use the Ogre Pearl as my outside in the track ball.

My Vis. line up would look like this normally this would be the progression I would use these balls.  Notice the G-3 is way stronger than my SS or Pearl but I'd use it as a deep inside line ball so I need the strength to carry better.  I could add B/G Centaur or Solid Ogre in there depending on conditions.  I have some older Vis. stuff that I don't use much.

FMG 4" pin to PAP
Ogre Pearl 4 1/4" pin to PAP
SS 5" pin to PAP
G-3 5" pin to PAP

Tommymo,

I noticed you mentioned you would have the G-3 set between your Frankie and your Ogre Pearl....in my opinion, your G-3 should sit outside of your Ogre Pearl.

The G-3 is one, if not the most, skid/flip ball they've produced in their lines to date.  Sure the Immortal flares alot, but the cores are completely different and the reaction and hitting power of the G-3 down the lane is better than the Immortal.

I believe that you will be fine with the layout you figured, 4 1/2 at 60, I would maybe even go as far as 75 degree on your drill angle.  The G-3 at stacked (90 degree drill angle) can be a bit touchy, but kicking the CG a little will help get the ball into it's roll a little better.

What are the layouts on your FMG and OP?  What surface do you currently have on these balls??
