Which pin position gives the most length?
« on: March 24, 2006, 06:17:07 AM »
Which gives the most length.  Pin further from pap(5"-6") or pin closer to pap(1"-2")?  I'm talking about symetrical balls only!

The greater the distance of pin to pap, the more length you will get. Also more snap.

   Also a high pin will render more length than a low pin, given the same coodinates.

I think the most length possible would be a pin 6 3/4" from PAP and on your VAL above your fingers...  I might be wrong though

Greatest length will come from higher pin positions watch out if you are a low tracker as you will encounter reaction and tracking incistantcies.

quote:
When placing a pin @ 6 3/4" from PAP you take the chance of the ball track reverse flaring because it is too close to the track. I would recommend not going past 5 1/2-6" to be on the safe side. Same with going pin axis, you have to be careful. You can place the pin 1 1/2-3" above the fingers to create length but you again have to be safe as the track can flare over the thumb by raising the bow tie too high.
Also, surface is going to dictate length as much as anything.
