Help with tilt, rotation, etc.

Post by lanehacker »

Hey all. Havent been around for a while and I have a fellow lady bowler asking for some advice on a layout. I was a little taken a back when I found out her specs. She has 80* rotation and approx 32* of tilt. Thats from a respected coach mapping it out. From watching her Id say her speed and revs are matched pretty close. In our house the speed is measured at the pins and it reads 9mph. I taped her pap on the ball (guessing at first) and after about 4 frames found it. It measures exactly 4 over and 2 1/8 up. Shes bowling on a normal house shot with an original dv8 diva. She bought a diva style which I think is a strong pearl. She says she would like to see a bit more reaction on the backend than she has now. Being the cover is a pearl, should she get it drilled the same as the original diva and the cover will take care of the stronger reaction? Im not sure what to tell her with that kind of tilt and rotation.
pap 5 1/8 over and 3/4 up
speed 18mph
rotation 80*
tilt 12*
rpm 300

Have you tried surface changes on her original Diva to see how they affect her reaction? -- JohnP

With a PAP like that her thumb is coming out way late, she is probably grabbing it at release and going over it (topping). Speed is way too low. Coaching may probably be a better option for her.
