Layouts for 2 handed bowler

Post by Harrytech »

I run a proshop in New Zealand, I don't get many 2 handed bowlers to drill for looking for some layouts and advice, he has a very high track and clips the middle finger sometimes, we have tried a performance fit and this has helped a little.

Specs are

Release speed 18mph
Tilt 5-6 degrees
Rotation 65 degrees
Revs 450

Any help is appreciated
Regards Harry

What is his PAP measurement?
Also, how is it measured? from the bridge or a pseudo span?

Pap is measure from the middle of the bridge and is 5 1/4 and 2 1/4 down.

With that PAP the tilt is actually negative 5* to get it to hit the middle finger.

Higher flaring layouts will get the track off the finger hole sooner.

If he's only drilling 2 finger holes then that Val position probably doesn't mean much other than putting it at a flare safe position.

The VAL is a line that is spherically parallel to the grip centerline. I has nothing to do with holes being flare safe. It is a reference line that the PAP is on and the pin is positioned from.

Large VAL Angles positioning the Pin below the fingerline will run risk of the ball's track flare running over the finger holes.

This reminded me to ask where the pin is located on the ball where he is clipping the middle finger?

"putting it" was a referral to putting the pin at a flare safe position since the VAL angle controls the pin location along with the pin distance. I should have made myself clearer
