Good afternoon. After a couple of days reading many wiki articles (and many several times lol) I would appreciate your Arsenal Layout recommendations. I believe that my "Sweet Spot" ratio is 1.6:1. Please correct me as needed.
RH
PAP: 4.25" right and .5" up
14.85-15.1mph on the monitor
300rpm
45* Axis rotation
15* Axis tilt
Predominantly Synthetics
2 THS Leagues but bowl a weekly Sport League and many PBA and other Tournaments on various challenging conditions.
Let me know any more info needed! Thanks in advance!

Re: Symmetric and Asymmetric Arsenal List
Thank you very much Eric!
I have some very "effed up" existing equipment. Most of those I have given away in the last month or so getting ready to use EBI eqipment exclusively.
Although a Mako I have ended up being 35 x 4.5 x 35 because I liked the Demo Ball's reaction so much i figured I would just try to match the layout. Oops.

Re: Symmetric and Asymmetric Arsenal List
It's only a degree difference from your midlane layout so I'm guessing you'll be fine with it as a strong ball, especially for sport shots

Re: Symmetric and Asymmetric Arsenal List
It is no Oops. Like Gunso said it is very close to the Midlane layout. It should serve you well for longer patterns especially on the fresh.PowerFluffer wrote:Thank you very much Eric!

The basic arsenals I give recommendations for represent a Range of usable layouts for your given release specs. It is in that range and will be one of the Stronger layouts. It would be a keeper and something to build upon as you fill in your arsenal.
Just because a layout doesn't match one of my recommendations exactly doesn't mean it is "effed up". Quite often my recommendations need to be modified because the pin will end up too close to a finger hole for warrentee. That is ok. Remember we are working within a range of +/-20* on the totals and +/-.5 on the Ratios for the Basic arsenal. Sport layouts will fall outside that range especially with the Ratios. The Basic arsenal is a starting point.
