Is there any relationship of the bowties to the PAP?
I am wondering if all bowlers with a 4-1/2 x 1/2up, 5 X 0, etc PAP would have their bowties in the same place?

Layout determines where the bowties will be. Tilt is also another factor because that determines where the initial track will be.
Drawing a line from the PAP through the Pin to the initial track will give you an idea where the bowtie will be. Then half way around the initial track will show you where the other bowtie will be.
This is not exact but it is the best way I have found to "estimate" where the bowties will be.

Thank you for your reply. So there is not that much correlation between PAP and tilt as well? I saw a video where Mo said that a when a bowler changes hand position, coming straight up the back of the ball vs coming around the side of the ball, that the bowlers PAP will also change. When I change hand positions I can see that the tilt axis and rotation axis change, but it looks like my PAP stays the same.EricHartwell wrote:Tilt is also another factor because that determines where the initial track will be.
I suppose then that there is no general rule of thumb that all 4-1/2 x 1/2up PAP bowlers fall in a tilt range of 15-20*, 5-1/2 x 0 PAP, 7-15*, etc.?

Re: Is there any relationship of the bowties to the PAP?
Axis tilt is dependent ONLY on the diameter of the initial track ring. You can have the same PAP location with different initial track ring diameters and the same axis tilt for different PAP locations.
Question answered above, but there is a TENDENCY for PAP's with lower horizontal components to have higher axis tilt and PAP's with higher horizontal components to have lower axis tilt. You can't be SURE until you measure the initial track ring diameter. -- JohnPI suppose then that there is no general rule of thumb that all 4-1/2 x 1/2up PAP bowlers fall in a tilt range of 15-20*, 5-1/2 x 0 PAP, 7-15*, etc.?

Correct there is a slight correlation between PAP and tilt but not a high one, it has more to do with the physiology of your hand, your grip, and release.vicsmyth wrote:

The answer is always measure your pap the proper way.

I bowled with a guy who's PAP was 3" over. He had low tilt and high rotation, turned the ball like a doorknob.
