Title: Xception 5.0 drilling - What to expect?
Post by: Buckwild on March 18, 2006, 11:02:53 AM

My 5.0 is drilled as such:


----O---O----
------p------

--------cg-----

------O-------xh----

------------mb------


What type of shape should I expect to see from this drilling, and what line would you think best fit this ball and drill? I'm still trying to figure this ball out
Thanks.

Hey Buck,

I'd say based on the mb positioning, your layout may read something like 5.25x5.5-5.75mb?.  I'm speculating based on your pic but if that measurement is close, this ball will go pretty long and then flip.  I'd say a little too long in the oil but too strong in the dry, am I close Buck?  This layout is somewhat over/under bud if that's the problem you're having, it's not really you, it's the layout of "this" ball to your pap.  Let me know and I'll try to help.

Hey Buck,

Responded to your pm.  

Basically guys, the tip I'd like you to remember is that when we have a ball that is designed to be long with strong backend, we don't really want to add a long and strong layout to that or we are doubling that effect which creates an over/under reaction to some degree.  A stronger tweener to cranker and a stroker may have some success with this but typically not for the majority or the average tweener.

I spoke to a couple of people who have the ball (driller included), and it was made clear to me that I had the wrong expectations for the 5.0. I originally thought that if the delta (stong flip in the backend) started to check up early), I could go to the 5.0 and play the same line. But now I understand that the 5.0's backend is not as strong as the delta, it has more midlane. So now I will use the Angular for that type of reaction, and play the 5.0 when I need to go more direct.
