"Pro CG" Layouts
« on: April 14, 2008, 11:30:29 AM »
Has anyone ordered a ball which has had a "Pro CG" layout on it?  If so, have you had success with it?  I am about to order one and just wondered if it really makes that big of a difference in reaction.  Thanks

I have a Pro CG cell. I love it. It is not so much for reaction but more so you can put some radical drillings on it with out a huge weight hole. I have a great layout example if you would like to see it PM me your email and I will send you a picture.

The CG does not make a significant (if any) difference in reaction, especially with today's strong asymmetrics (pro-CG balls are all asymmetric)

What the pro-CG ball will do regarding the drill pattern is unknown.  If the CG is off the pin-MB line to the right and you're a right-handed bowler, you could be very, very limited as even modest movements of the MB away from the thumb will create excessive finger, side, or thumb weight, maybe more than can be managed with a weight hole (depends on the starting top weight).

Or it could be out of line to the left for a right-handed bowler and you can do almost anything reasonable without needing a weight hole.

Without knowing how the CG is out of line, it's hard to know any more.  When you get the ball, you can always contact Storm or RG (I don't recall anyone else selling "pro CG" balls) and ask for layout advice.

I have a Pro CG Attitude Shift and absolutely love it.  The ball came with a sheet that is specifically designed for the pro cg layouts and my ball driller had no problem at all giving me what I wanted.  I highly recommend them as they are usually cheaper in price but have all of the same core and coverstock as the original versions of the ball.  The same can be said of Pro Pin.

Bought a pro cg attitude shift:

Ignored the cg and put my desired layout on the ball using pin and MB (as should be the case anyways).  Prior to drilling, I weighed it out to make sure there wasn't ridiculous statics and that I would be able to get the ball legal.  Everything was fine, so I drilled it out:

The ball rolls fine, just as I had hoped/expected.  I needed to use a little larger weight hole than I may have used otherwise, but no big deal.

Strapper, you got lucky. When the CG is on the wrong side you can get really screwed.
