Post by Jmiller030269 »

I need ball and layout suggestions. Speed off hand is 16mph. Rev rate is 257. Axis tilt is 20 degrees. Axis rotation is 65 to 70 degrees. Bowling on a 41 to 43 foot house pattern. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to BowlingChat

You are matched speed to revs but your slightly high Tilt and Rotation make you slightly speed dominant. Sweetspot =85* totals 1:1.25 Ratio

Asymmetrical Layouts
Benchmark ..................... 40-4.25-50
Long and Strong ............. 60-4.25-45
Control .......................... 40-3.75-65
low flare ......................... 60-2-45

Symmetrical Layouts
Benchmark ..................... xx-3.5-45
Long and Strong ............. xx-4.25-35 Drill the thumb hole 4" deep
Control .......................... xx-4.5-60
low flare ........................ xx-5-45

Hi Eric, are you sure about the benchmark angle sum of 105 and benchmark layout?

I am sure now that I messed this one up. I added to the totals when I should have subtracted. I had the Ratios backwards too. I will edit my original post.
Thanks for keeping an eye on me.
