The Storm Mix, my favorite spare ball, has a pancake weight block. The pin marks the cg. I have one and simply put the pin right in the center of my grip. After I shot a 720 series with it on dry lanes I bought another one. I assume that as long as I keep the pin right in my centergrip when I lay it out that I can orient the grip holes in such a way so that the ball does not track over the engraved logos?
If you're asking why I am concerned about the ball tracking over the logos, my most honest answer is: pure superstition.

Yes, you can turn the ball about the Cg (Pin) and it will not be any different.vicsmyth wrote:The Storm Mix, my favorite spare ball, has a pancake weight block. The pin marks the cg.

Are you also going to match the same post drilled top weight?
Just wondering how far your superstitions went.

Re: Layout for Storm Mix
Eric, Thanks for you reply. As a stroker, and I know that this is controversial, I have found my balls have more hitting power if they have 1/2 to 1 oz top weight post drilling. So I generally aim for that. I use the Storm Mix mostly for spares, but it's still nice to have that little extra to carry a bucket or 3,9,10. So yes, my superstitions apply there as well. I also have to eat a peanut butter sandwich before league, and cannot wear a shirt with a collar.
