How to drill Venom
« on: August 18, 2008, 02:32:37 AM »
I've seen several posts about the Venom with different opinions.I am wanting the ball to go thru the middle long and come back from 5-1 board and also down the boards long and snap to pocket.I have med spd.15mph 325 revs PAP is 5.5 rt 3/4" up.Usually like pin up. Ball to be drilled is pin out 3-4" top 3oz.

With this ball, it may be a bit of a mistake to drill it to "go long and snap hard".  To me the coverstock seems to be allergic to oil and really cut left when it hits the dry.  Such may be due to the high gloss oob finish, but I wouldn't drill it with the pin exceedingly high, nor would I put the mass bias further than 80 degrees (unless the pin is relatively close to your pap).

 I would say that you could go with the pin in the 5 1/2" range from your pap, 3" above the midline, and have the mass bias around 65 degrees.  Another option is a pin in the 3 1/4" range, 2" above the midline, and the mass bias around 80 degrees.  The first drill should give the ball some length and have it be controllable on the backend, whereas the second drill should have the ball checking up sooner and being more continuous off the spot.  You have some latitude here, but notice that we're looking at drills that either A) control the backend or B) start up the reaction sooner to smooth over/under.

I have mine drilled with the pin between the 2 fingers with the cg stacked under and the mass bias to the right of the thumb and this ball gets thru the mids great and has a goof pop on the backend..

put the pin and mass bias both 4-4.5" from your pap weight hole on P3 or P4 on the gradient line
