Does anyone happen to know what Dukes PAP is, and how much axis tilt he has? Thanks.

From Buddiesproshop.com's "what they were using"
quote:

Week 16 - Geico Classic - Pattern length 35 ft.

Doug Kent - Hammer Road Hawg (Pin 6 inches from PAP, CG 5 inches from PAP, Pin 2 inches above the mid-line of grip, balance hole on VAL, ball was polished with Ebonite Powerhouse Factory Finish Polish).

Hammer Vibe (Pin 4 1/2 inches from PAP, CG 3 1/2 inches from PAP, Pin 2 1/2  inches above the mid-line of grip, balance hole on VAL, ball was thrown in box finish)

Norm Duke - Storm X-factor Ace (Pin 6 1/4 inches from PAP, Rad 5 inches from PAP, Pin 3 1/2 inches up from mid line of grip, no balance hole). The back flares were scuffed with a 500 abralon pad. Mr. Duke's PAP is 5 3/4 inches right, no up or down.


PS- Google is VERY useful...

No up or down measurement on PAP might mean he has no (zero degrees) axis tilt... I'm not sure though.
