do any of your other balls roll over the thumb like that? You could always do short pin to PAP layouts

It's probably the 3 piece Scout. But I am with my man James about if anything else rolls like that. Low flare and high track can end up doing that.

None of his other balls roll over the thumb. Going to replace the ball with a new scout old one drilled with the cg+ pin in his palm. So looking for a new layout.

High track players (like myself) will have this problem with any pin down style drilling. We are pretty pigeon holed into Pin up layouts. I believe I read in the Mo wiki that he stated "For high tracks just go pin up and be done with it" if I remember correctly lol.

My axis is 6" Right and 1/4" up, but on plastics and pancake cores, I'll typically clip the thumb hole almost the entire lane. To avoid tracking over the thumb on pancake core balls (I have a Black Sanded Scout) I have the pin/cg 3" right of grip center and 2" up with an x-hole 1" past my PAP on a line from the center of grip through the VAL. It flares about 2" with about 1/16" - 1/8" separation between the oil rings and moved my track about 1/2" off of my thumb.

that type of layout with an extremely high track will cause that. Which is why for high track players, I typically don't drill anything pin down. especially in something that weak. I agree with DP3 on this one especially with his personal experience because its what I've had to do for one of my clientele who's PAP is 6"+. He's in Love with Rico so I have to make adjustments to the base layout to try and keep the track somewhat off his fingers. For the most part for him though, its more along the lines of what DP3 is saying.
