question for all:
i have a friend who tracks really high. we experimented and put a 5" pin up, 90*, 4k abralon drilling on an old pro stock pearl by storm. he has a tendancy to roll over the holes and i was wondering if we put a hole 4" from center of grip, if it would help the ball increase flare and move away from the fingers and such?

also, would i have to put the x-hole in the thumb or finger quadrant?

we are trying to figure out what we want to put into a black widow pearl, so when he has to get in, he has something that gets down lane, and will turn the corner, without reving up too soon, because of his speed. he has slower-medium speed and has decent revs. i am looking at more of a 5" - 5 1/2" pin up, 75*, 4k abralon layout for him.

thanks in advance all!

still trying to learn all the tricks of the trade.

usually the first part of the lane. i know part of it is when he rushes through the swing and does not come through the ball. but another part of it is just his normal release, and the fact that he tracks so high.

kind of what i was figuring as far as the release is concerned.

thanks JohnP!

JohnP, he clips the outside part of the thumb.

i like the idea of maybe making his span smaller. should i shorten the entire span or just the ring finger?

he does use grips, but the pitch is at 0.
