drilling negative
« on: June 17, 2003, 12:27:28 AM »
I'm a right hander, specs are in profile..
I have pearl stomp drill like this..
 
   P  
   O  O
    G
     
     O
This ball is great for me when the lanes dry out, gets great legenth. But the backend snap on this ball can be too much. I just bough a crunch and polished it and am planing on also drilling it negative. My ball driller said i have to keep the pin in that location because of my high track, but does anyone know what would happen if i moved the cg to the midline, or back to the right? like such?

  P

   O   O

        G

      O

Thanks.

Well the pin position will get you the length that's for sure.  But if you put the CG on your midplane or back to the right you will but the MB in a strong position and it will react even harder off the dry.  I would say that you have a few options and one should work depending on your game and hand release.

1.  Keep the CG where it is on your stomp but matte the finish slightly
2.  Put the MB towards your vertical axis line.  This will get the ball to bleed off energy a little bit and will calm down the backend slightly.
3.  Put the CG to the left.  This will basically look like a severely shifted label drilling.  This may also require a weight hole on the left to get the ball legal.  This is tough as you may track over a hole?

Hope this helps?

TEST Disregard reading this.

I always see the grips typed in where everything is centered on the left margin and I dont think that can really be correct.  They usually look like this:

P
O O
G

O


So I want to test and see if this will come out correctly with the P to the right and the G slightly left (just as an illustration, not an actual drill):

 
 

    P
 O O


 G
 
  O


Ok, by the Preview it looks okay.  I put the above drill span illustration in by using the Code Button (7th from the left) and typing in the info inside the code blocks.  Now to see if it actually gets printed out correct.  Oh, and I had to add more spaces to seperate the thumb and fingerhole O symbols for some reason otherwise it got all scrunched up.
