Re: Mania for nationals layout help
as early as possible puts you in a 20x3 3/8 x 10 drilling. Very early rolling, but very smooth as well. Not much motion, but will roll through sludge
However, that will only be functional for you if you're extremely speed dominant.
What are you specs for RPM, Rotation, Tilt, PAP, and Speed?
These will lead to much better suggestions.

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
Wouldn't a longer pin roll sooner in an asymmetric ball?

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
Wouldn't you want a bigger VAL angle as well, to smooth out the break point? Just asking. I don't ACTUALLY know, I'm just interested. I would think 20 x 3 3/8 x 10 would start hooking at his feet and roll out before getting out of oil.MattCosta7 wrote:as early as possible puts you in a 20x3 3/8 x 10 drilling.

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
According to Mo, The first transition is UNeffected by Pin to Pap on Asymmetrical balls. Pin to Pap simply defines the 'shape' of the 'hook'.cgeorg wrote:Wouldn't a longer pin roll sooner in an asymmetric ball?
Cover/core and drilling angle will define the the time/distance when the first transition occurs.
Maybe you're mistaking "forward roll" with "sooner roll"? As longer pin to pap promotes forward roll.

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
Based on his specs, he'ld definitely want a longer VAL angle, and probably a higher drill angle too. I would say he has decently matched speed and revs, but without tilt, and rotation it's hard to be exacting. with lower tilt/rotation, he would be looking in the 80 degree range, probably 35*val x 55*drill or so, with higher numbers, 30*val, 40* drill. Pins around the 4-5" range. 4" if he has lower tilt, 5" if higher tilt.
He hadn't asked about a pattern or him, he just asked for the earliest transition originally.

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
A larger VAL angle will increase the length of the hook zone which essentially lengthens the second transition from hook to roll, so it will smooth out the breakpoint.kellytehuna wrote: Wouldn't you want a bigger VAL angle as well, to smooth out the break point?

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
He originally stated that his ball speed is high so I think he should keep the drilling angle smaller to get the ball to read sooner. I think he needs to tell us his axis tilt and axis rotation measurements.MattCosta7 wrote:Based on his specs, he'ld definitely want a longer VAL angle, and probably a higher drill angle too.

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
We always need 4 pieces of info about the bowler to give accurate advice. They are: ball speed (heads or scorer), rev rate at release, initial axis rotation, and initial axis tilt. Give me that info and I will recommend a layout for the mania. I would love for you to use a mania at Nationals.barnes1 wrote:medium tracker will have to get the other info next time im at the pro shop

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
i got my info not the rev rate though but here it is
Tilt 4*
Rotation 18*
PAP 4 1/2 over and 1 inch up
Speed 19.7 Qubica
since its for nationals my ball speed is gonna be the toughest factor on all that oil thats why i want this ball to set up early as possible.

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
I've been told that the lanes hook more at Nationals this year, even though they're using 26.1 ml of oil per lane.barnes1 wrote:i got my info not the rev rate though but here it is

Those tilt and rotation measurements are awfully precise, but I have to assume they are accurate.
mania drilling for you for Nationals: 55 / 3 1/4 / 20 with a big P3.5 hole sanded 500.

The lanes are hooking more, which probably means more friction.
I must ask, why 500 grit?

They are not hooking that much with 26.1 ml of oil. His ball speed is about 22.5 mph off his hand. Comprendo?

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
my ball driller in the house i bowl at after league got me my stats had me throw a ball after league then did his mearements he gave me a rough give or take so i took the middle number but the PAP was accurate right on the money
Tilt 3-5*
Rotation 15-20*
thanks for the info i will definitely be taking this ball along with my
Mutant Cell 500 grit
Mission 1000
Bounty Hunter Pearl 1000
Hot Sauce Pearl drilled for drier conditions my down and in ball
Hammer Razyr

Re: Mania for nationals layout help
4"+ pin will work the best. 3"-4" pin will work if you drill the fingers 3 1/2" deep. As far as the hole size goes, drill the balance hole 3" deep and make it as big as possible while keeping the statics legal.barnes1 wrote:Mo what pin length should i go with and rough estimate on how big of a P3.5 hole
