When you move in, are you bringing the breakpoint in too? Do you have the ability to increase speed?
I usually parallel to keep angles fairly tight.44boyd wrote:When you move in, are you bringing the breakpoint in too? Do you have the ability to increase speed?

Knowing PAP I can suggest options of drilling gripping holes deeper for tuning purposes.

I can tell you from personal experience 3 x 35 is the exact opposite of skid/snap for me. This is a very slow downlane layout for me. I need it in my bag, but not for a big backend reaction.Skid snap .................... xx-3-35
I've actually lowered my rotation to around 55, so it's not as drastic as it used to be. Of course, by lowering my rotation some, it's a little tougher to open up the lane, but enough on sharper oil tapers that it is tough to blend out. Granted, 55 is still plenty, but it's not 80.elgavachon wrote:7* of Tilt with anywhere close to 80* rotation is what Mo called PDW territory. He always started off on low tilt by saying "another low tilt". add that to high rotation, and you are hard to drill for.
Here is the chart from the "Ratio Guide" which was specially added there for just those specs: http://wiki.bowlingchat.net/wiki/images ... _chart.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Using the chart, I would benchmark you somewhere between (1.7:1 and 1.5:1; However, since Mo lowers ratios even more for left handers, you would be 1.5:1 (when using that much rotation) . The problem with drilling for those specs is that with 7* of tilt, we are trying to retain it; however, with 80* of rotation, we are trying to burn off rotation gradually to avoid to much over under and too much skid-snap. Very speed sensitive. I would call that a kind of hit and miss. Looking at your specs on paper, you look almost matched, but I have bowled with you and with the tilt and rotation, you appear to have a ton of revs. Giving you layouts is almost trial and error. I would take a few balls that you don't like and experiment before drilling new stuff. Short pins Asymmetrical will retain tilt (and rotation which you don't need). I would try some layouts you don't have with lower ratios and short pins. Try like 70* 2 45* or 60* 2 40* just for an experiment (asymmetrical). Remember too that low PSA numbers (.012-.014) will move toward the thumb hole (without balance holes) and very low numbers (like .008) should be drilled symmetrical and would not work for this experiment.
