One Ball
« on: April 12, 2008, 11:33:05 AM »
If you could only take one ball to a tournament what would it be?

I would go with my polished black label as it is smooth and versatile.

Pardon my ignorance, but when you say 1 inch pin buffer, what exactly does that mean?

n00dlejester,

Greetings!

Pin Buffer is the distance the pin is from your VAL.  The closer the pin is to your VAL, the more angular the reaction.  A large pin buffer means a smoother hook.

Here is a link to show what pin buffer is from the Roto-Grip Asymmetrical Drill Guide...

Hope this helps!

Mike

Now does this hold true for the MB as well?  That is, MB closer to VAL = more angular shape than MB further from VAL.

Thank you!

n00dlejester,

It is actually mostly the opposite.  A MB placement by the VAL will create a smoother break point shape then if you place it further away (nearer the thumb). The further away the more of a sharper breakpoint shape you will have.

Go to:    http://www.rotogrip.com/products/balls/video/  and click on Seminar, then have a look at the Seminar 13 Video  

There you can see the difference using different Pin Buffers and it's Pete Weber rolling the balls...
