Hy-road

How should you drill this ball to more even arcing for tournament shots, you know not over under, something that isnt going to over read the pattern.

My stats are
Axis 5 9/16 x 1/2 up
rev rate 250-275 (guestimate)
15-17 mph
45 Degree ball roll

Bowling on pba shots on both synthetic and wood.

Thats what storm suggested.... 5 x 6 with 4" pin buffer.

If you're looking for sooner, you got the wrong ball. With that being said, a stronger layout and more surface might get you close to what you're looking for.

I have a higher track so my stuff tends to read earlier then most. This is why i selected a longer pin to pap distance, i will most likely put a X hole down on my val. This combo works well for me



I have a high track as well and my equipment reads every pattern early. I tend to keep pins between 4 and 5 1/2 inches from PAP and use covers and MB/CG placement to define length and shape on sport patterns.

LOL!

No hope for you guys...just keep dumping it up 5, and wait for the big wall!

See ya this week in Reno right? I hope the lefty crowbar patterns aren't out there like they normally are!

Take care and have a safe trip!

You should like that a lot! Dont be afraid to use a little surface to get it rollin sooner and tame the backend!

Hope you like it!

I wouldn't, unless you have a top weight over 3 1/2ish. Thumb weight would only help with what you want that ball to do. Just make sure it's legal.
