XXXcel Drilling help..PICS inside !!!
« on: September 14, 2005, 03:17:02 PM »
I bought a used xxxcel off the forsale/trade forum and I was wondering about how the drilling would workout for me.

My PAP is: 5 over, 1/2 up..I'm a high tracker, with about 15mph speed and about 350 rpms.

The ball has a 2 inch pin and is drilled with the pin under fingers in the middle or bridge. The CG is to the right, under the ring finger, about the middle of the span.

Pin to PAP distance : 4" 9/10

CG to PAP : 4'

Heres the pics:

i think it should roll very good. i would recommend taking the ball down to 1000 grit, the XXXcel was made for the purpose of hooking. ive noticed when polished the ball tends to misread at the breakpoint. (especially with the Bomb that low) take it down to 1000 and let the ball do all the work for you. this ball is more than likely too much for anyone with hand on a typical 6 or 9 oclock house shot. this ball was made to hook, so let that be the sole purpose of having this ball.

let me know how it works for you.
