Where should the pin be on a bowling ball?

the pin is the marking on the surface of the ball that indicates the location of the top of the core; in most cases, this marking is very close to the ball’s low RG axis.

Durability Optimization Technology
Brunswick’s patent-pending Durability Optimization Technology (DOT) represents a revolutionary change in the way bowling balls are manufactured. Developed by Brunswick engineers with one goal in mind – to significantly reduce cracking in performance bowling balls.

What do the numbers mean on a bowling ball layout?

first digit is the distance in inches of the pin to your PAP. 2nd digit is the distance in inches of the mass bias or CG (depending if its a asym or sym core) to your PAP. 3rd digit is the pin buffer distance which im still trying to figure out.

Which is the best layout for a bowling ball?

The pin-up layout facilitates an angled entry to the pocket and is usually useful for bowlers with high revolutions but slow ball speed. This layout provides a more defined, sharper hook instead of a total hook. Bowlers bowling on lightly-oiled lane conditions and shorter length patterns usually prefer using this layout on their balls.

Where is the layout pin on a bowling ball?

The layout pin is under the ring finger or 4.5 inches away from your pap. And the mass or the cg is angled 35 to 65 degrees. The angle is determined by the amount of early roll you want.

How does a control bowling ball drilling layout work?

The asymmetric cores tend to produce a more angular motion in the mid-lane and an increased back end reaction compared to the symmetric core. Of course, the coverstock texture and the given bowler’s rev-rate influence the ball reaction as well. Control layouts offer you the chance to avoid over-reactions on given lane conditions.

What’s the rule of thumb for a bowling ball?

Rule of thumb. 1. Track area or medium lane conditions. = arcing 90% of house bowlers will use this ball. 2. Outside and oilier lane conditions. = early roll. 3. Inside or dryer lane conditions = flip ball or stacked.
