Re: Spare shooting...

Holy cow, I have never thought of it like that before, lol I can see a misscoception here, we have to measure to the center of the ball to know how many boards we have available to hit a single pin, so I made this diagram to show it. http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/9732/spareboards.jpg I put in ...

Re: Spare shooting...

If you think about this problem in pure numbers you will see the answer, I do believe. A pin is around 3 boards wide, while a ball is around 5 boards wide. When throwing at a single pin this will give you a miss of the width of the ball plus the width of the pin, totaling 8 boards (just for the cor...

I am a big fan of your web-page 39 Duelas. You are that Sergio Avila?
I would check the ball. I think the pin may be mis-marked.

Re: I need an engineers perspective

From the physics point of view Momentum is defined by P=mv, so if you can maintain speed in all three weights (14, 15 and 16), the heavier the ball the more momentum it will have and the more energy will be transferred to the pins. BUT it compensates in different ways, when you throw a lighter ball,...

Re: My lateral thumb pitch?

Mo and 2y2, Not to hijack this post, but if I grasp a pop can just like 2y2 did, my thumb points in the same direction to middle finger, except I am right handed and he is left handed. So, with me currently having 1/8 left, it is off, just like what I have been thinking. In fact, I'm right handed t...

Re: My lateral thumb pitch?

I see that as 0 lateral. As for measuring your hand, you want your hand laying as flat as possible, with your ENTIRE thumb in the hole. Don't succumb to the temptation to stretch your hand out. Just let your fingers stay as relaxed as possible. If it's standard practice to tuck your pinky, do this ...

My lateral thumb pitch?

Hi there, Mo told me to upload these pics so he can give me my lateral thumb pitch, but I also have a question. When measuring my span using Mo's fitting technique, how relaxed my hand should be when I lay it on the ball? I find a lot of difference in measurements with my relaxed hand vs. a more str...

Re: lateral finger pitches causing loft?

Whithout Mo's cilinders, what's the best way to determine lateral thumb pitch? I've seen many people and pro-shop operators making the bowler to grab the forearm and look where the thumb tip points to, but there are many variables around that, like the thickness of the fore arm, how far between the ...
