Title: 5x3x4 layout
Post by: coco3085 on December 08, 2014, 04:22:03 PM
Looked at storms drilling sheet and saw this layout. I was wondering how much overall hook this would take off of a ball if I was to drill the ball like this? looking for something a little weaker, less backend out of a decent sized core, verses buying a nothing weightblock type of ball.

You got it right mattypizon. It is for good length,control lay out,used on low volume or wet and dry.

Something in a weak cover. Thinking rotogrip scream, Columbia deep freeze, something like that. Want a ball to square up with, without going pancake. My lights out is super strong on my lane conditions. Wanting something for a different look

On symmetric core balls the psa is going to be near or below the thumb depending on pin placement. For smoothing out backends I would consider a shorter pin in the 2" range with a little surface and a weight hole as needed. Surface in the 2000-4000 range. I have a slingshot for this purpose and would highly recommend it for similar entry level balls.
