Title: Drilling for Alpha Crux
Post by: snappyarcher on May 25, 2016, 01:59:27 AM

Hey guys! Just got my new Alpha Crux (15.3lbs Pin:2.5-3). I'm still thinking what layout to use. Can anybody suggest a good layout or post their drilled layouts on Alphas? My ball speed is around 18-19 mph and i throw it quite straight to the 2nd arrow(standing at the 16th or 17th board) and hook just near the pocket. Would appreciate all the help. Thanks.

Post a video of you bowling a shot or two. Makes a big difference.

I'm guessing you're speed dominant - but are you up the back or off the side? Knowing makes a difference in a suggestion....

What do you mean by this?

Do you have high axis rotation (60-90 degrees) or low axis rotation (0-30 degrees)?

Here is a tutorial on axis rotation:

I would suggest throwing a few shots for your ball driller so they can locate your PAP and talk with you about different layout options. If your ball driller can't/won't do that, time to find a new ball driller.

I just bought one specifically for Nationals to deal with the oil. 

Any tips on how to drill? 

This is me from 2012, only difference now is I hold the ball slightly higher before I start. 

If you have Facebook you should be able to see it.
