Pin down layout on Fury Video
« on: January 25, 2007, 03:04:41 AM »
That pin down layout they showed, is that a layout a med-high tracker person could use (4 3/4 across 11/16 up)? I don't flare near the fingers or thumb.

I thought it had a killer look in the midlane and backend!

Thanks!

Sure, but for it to be the same layout for your track/PAP the pin would be found even more towards the grip line or middle finger.

J Mac, Does it matter? Would it roll funky or something?

Does this layout only benefit people with higher rev rates?

What JMac is saying is that regardless of what layout you see on someone else's ball, you have to take in to consideration your own PAP. Billy O's pin placements in the video had his pin on his grip line below the fingers (5 3/4" from his axis) on one ball, and under the ring finger (5" from his axis).

With your axis measurements you listed, the pin under fingers on the grip center line would be a stonger more continous reaction for you. The pin under ring finger layout for you would/could cause over flaring, thus making the ball weaker downlane. Not always true, but with stronger coverstocks this can result. Safer to keep the pin 5" - 5 1/2" from axis and then just adjust the balls surface to fine tune it.

Remember, regardless of where you see someone else's pin placement, always use your own PAP to determine where the pin should be on your own ball.

BrunsBob, What layout would cause the over flare? Pin under and in the grip center (last ball thrown on video) or pin under ring? Maybe I misunderstood you.

I realize that pin placement is unique to every one's axis measurements and such, but it seemed like an exotic layout and I wasn't sure if it could work for me or how it would be layed out.

I don't have anything drilled with a lower pin placement, so I have no idea if I would clip any holes.

Thanks!
