Center line transfer Questions
« on: June 08, 2003, 04:52:42 AM »
Ok, going back thru the posts for this and have a few questions.
I am going to try it.

1. Would you lay the ball out on the centerline of the thumb or the centerline of the fingers?
2. Should I make the thumbhole tight and oval it after completion of the drill?
3. Will the pitches of the fingers change?
4. Will the pitches on the thumb change?
5. Span stays the same right?
6. Has anyone tried a sarge easter drill with this?
7. If there is ANYTHING I missed please let me know...
8. Will there be a pap shift when I drill this??

FAILURE IS FEEDBACK. AND FEEDBACK IS THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS THAT GOT DIGESTED!

Ten pin?????? Where?? I throw a BUZZSAW there is NUTTIN left on the deck...

Nothing changes, as far as span goes or the layout of the ball, when drilling a CLT grip. Map out your ball with span lines as you normally would do before drilling.

The only thing different is instead of drilling the fingers using the line from the center of the bridge to the center of your thumb, a new center line is used. This line will go from the center of your bridge, to the right of your thumbhole.

Drill the thumbhole. Place your thumb in the thumbhole and lay your fingers over the ball with the fingers pointing towards where the finger holes will be drilled. Now, draw a line right down the center between your middle and ring finger. This will be your new center line.

When drilling the fingers, turn this new center line so it will be facing 12:00 and 6:00 in your jig. Now drill your fingers using the same span lines as was marked originally on the ball going towards the center of your thumbhole. This is how you drill a CLT grip.

Basically, all you're doing is changing the pitches of the holes, without changing the pitches on your jig. Just ask Brian Omara..!! =:^D

Yeah, Brian, LuckyLefty, and myself talked extensively about this before I tried it.

I've been lurking in this discussion because I never really understood CLT, but I think I do now.  This sounds like a great idea and I think I want to try it.  I just need to decide if I want to try it in a new ball, or have an old one's fingers plugged and redrilled in the CLT format.  I have an older ball that still moves in and out of my arsenal.  Maybe I'll try it in that one.

Thanks to everyone--Doug Sterner for the explanations and BT for the link especially.

I would use an old ball.  That is what I did with my viper.
