I will spare you the long version of my journey to this forum, but since most here are technical, I will give you some stats to summarize...
- 2 brand new balls plugged (I'm confident none of the 4 total layouts were/are right for me)
- 5 PSO's for work and/or opinions
- 3 different PAP measurements
- 3 month span...
Still, I am super gun shy about drilling a new ball. Below is what I got for my sweet spot layout given my profile stats and the wiki guidance, but I'd really appreciate some of you folks critiquing my numbers and filling in gaps.
Btw, 2 things are still a bit fuzzy to me.
1. determining Pin to PAP distances.
2. How Symmetrical layouts are calculated as it appears they are different from the asym
Angle sum= 110* +/- 20* (slightly rev dominate 100* + 10* for low tilt +/- 20* sometimes "good" bowler)
Angle ratio= 2.5:1 +/- 0.5 (7* tilt / low rotation)
p2p= 3.75" to 4.25"? (again, a bit unclear to me)
Asymmetrical Layouts
Totally Strong ........ 65x?x25
Midlane ............... 60x?x30
Benchmark ............. 80x?x30
long and Strong ....... 90x?x30
Control ............... 85x?x45

Thanks so much!
