Players Championship
« on: February 17, 2019, 05:03:29 PM »
I am very surprised that there haven't been any post of the Players Championship today. I will not say who won because some of you may be taping it to watch later, but I thought that the match for the title was one of the best I have seen in a long time, I really enjoyed watching it.

I love my pin down layouts in my area, because all you get around here is wet, dry house shots and just plain hooking conditions. Not much oil to be found in upstate New York.   >:(

Lets see what happens when we simulate Ryan Mouw throwing a symmetric core ball with a 3.75" pin up and 3.75" pin down. Then we try his delivery with a 5" pin up and 5" pin down ball.  Then something Radical......we compare the two like balls and track flare. We see that like pin to pap balls drilled pin up or pin down moves the bow tie closer or further from the fingers and thumb. This is done with minimal changes in ball flare and ball reaction.

The only thing missing is a throwbot to then test these results on the lane...…… If only someone had that technology available.

Below is 3.75" pin down for 3 pics, then 3.75" pin up for 3 pics, then 5" pin down for 3 pics, and finally 5" pin up for 3 pics. The total flare and separation are very similar. The big difference is the over flaring of the 3.75" pin up catching the thumb, as we bring the pin down the bowtie comes down with it keeping the ball from flaring over the thumb. This is why for so many bowlers you need to be careful when looking at such strong pin to pap layouts.

Great illustration ignite. Yes I have a hammer scandal with a high, strong pin that flares over thumb. You can hear it thump just before it hits the pins.  :(
