Title: Pro-Pin / Large Pin-Out Layouts
Post by: Keith Frye on April 07, 2004, 08:57:00 PM
An earlier post included a link to Brunswick's suggested drillings for Large Pin-Out balls (4" - 5.5").  Are Storm's or other suggested layouts available anywhere on-line?  Alternatively, would someone who has Storm's layouts from a Pro-Pin box please post them.

Thanks, Keith

He means large pin out.  What he doesn't realize is Storm probably doesn't have anything different in the way of drilling suggestions in the box with a so called "Pro-Pin" ball.  I'm pretty sure they haven't offically released such a ball in years.  What you are seeing is a proshop trying to increase sales by saying a large pin out ball is somehow better than a normal pin out ball, or even a pin in ball.  Large pin out balls otherwise wouldn't move off the shelf I guess.

Storm does include "special" drilling instructions in the box for the Pro pins.  I don't know if they are available online.  There have been several discussions about it in the Drilling and Storm forums.  Some of the info came directly from one of the Storm techs.  Pro pins are currently available.  Whether you think it is a marketing gimic to get rid of long pins is your opinion.

Well it's not the first time I'd be mistaken.  *shrug*

I'll be all set once I figure out how to get this ball to throw itself.
