CG near the Thumb....OK?
« on: December 24, 2014, 01:37:52 PM »
Looking go do a Pin Down drilling with a ball that has a  3.5" pin, but with my shorter span of 4", a pin down drilling will put the CG in or near the center of my thumb. Is this an issue?

Is this ball best to drill pin up or look for a 2" pin for a pin down drilling?

While you two are in the holiday mood, tell me what the below info means to you for Sym balls

1) Early hook/late roll with surface
2) Med/late hook/med early roll with less surface
3) Late hook/early roll polished

Absolutely nothing
Surface dictates how when and where the ball slows down
Largest factor in ball motion

Where did you find that?

It is contradicting unless I am missing something, or misreading.   
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Pin up will help keep the ball on line easier and another idea to slow the ball down or smooth out reaction is a weight hole down
I don't get caught up in dual angles they mean nothing to me 😎 go pin up kick the CG out so that you have static pos side and thumb- 3/4 X 1/4 and this will allow you a weight hole basically anywhere

OMIGAWD, Rico!!! Now you've gone and done it.
You've made a lifelong enemy of bowling god #2, the great and powerful Mo.

Gotta agree with The Kid here. You're mixing apples and pomegranates. Those aren't ball path reactions; they seem to be contradictory.
