Full Roller Drill
« on: September 14, 2007, 07:01:32 AM »
I was just wondering if different drill patterns on bowling balls affect the track on your ball.  I have a different pin now from a trade I made, and now I cross about 3 lines of my track over the thumbhole.  Of course, this could very well be me as well.  Thanks for all responces,

Zach

The initial track is determined by your release, but the flare is determined by the pin placement.  If, as your topic suggests, you throw a full roller you need a layout that lowers the track's bowtie enough to reverse the normal flare pattern so the track will flare away from instead of into your thumb and finger holes.  --  JohnP

Thanks a lot for your reply John.  If it can change the flare, then can that ultimately change the roll of the bowling ball?  Thanks again,

Zach

Depends on what you mean by "change the roll of the bowling ball".  It will change the location of the flare rings.  For example, for a full roller with good revs, a ball with a strong core, and a standard full roller layout, the final flare rings will be close to perpendicular to the grip centerline.  --  JohnP
