Very normal coordinates for a high tracker.

It doesn't make sense, but I track a little lower with asymmetric equipment.  No matter what the asymmetric does down lane, the initial oil line which determines your PAP, shouldn't change.  Don't worry about any small change your PAP might make with different balls.  Your PAP should be measured with plastic or something that flares very little anyway.  Even if it did change a little, the pin to PAP being off 1/2-1" means very little to anyone not PBA caliber, and probably nothing at all if thrown on a THS.

I am going to take a guess (guys correct me if I am wrong) that your tracking over the thumb or not is due to how the balls are laid out. Pin-PAP, weight holes, or MB location...

You may want to check your pitches on the thumb hole with the ball that you are tracking over and compare them with your NV.  My guess is the pitches are wrong.

Thanks to all who responded.All thumb pitches are the same I had those all changed to be the same a few weeks back.How can you lower your track to get me away from my thumb?

Thanks,
