Thank you Eric. These are the answers this particular type of bowling customer wants and appreciates. That is, until they fully understand the intricacy of modern layout methods. Their language will then change proportionately.EricHartwell wrote: With your interpretation ~70-3.5-30 with the grip moved 6-3/4" from his PAP from the existing ball that has an approximate layout of ~75-5.5-40. It makes more sense if you don't assume the PAP location on the ball follows the grip location.
What you have to realize is no matter where you put your grip your PAP and track location is basically always going to be the same locations from your grip center. The PAP and track follow your grip so you dont have to worry about putting your grip too close to your track.
As far as how it will roll depends on what kind of balls, Symmetrical or Asymmetrical.
For everyone else, the op did not request a change in his pap. Using whatever method at his disposal, or maybe it was just a visualization, he asked a fairly simple question that anyone in the pro shop business should have been able to decipher.
No, instead, people take it upon themselves to blast everyone and everything because the terminology doesn't quite fit their way of thinking. That, people, is precisely why bowling is in the present shape it's in.
