Ham-chop,,

I put TJ's trick layout on my NM and BWS last year. Here's a link to what it looks like. It puts alot of negative side weight in the ball. The ball goes real long and has an agressive backend. I prefer this drill for me because I need the added length. BTW I am right handed .

The pin was placed 4 and 3/4 inches from my PAP and 1 inch from the VAL.

The CG is lower left of the middle finger . The 3 dots just below the fingers are a reflection of cieling fan lights. These are not markings on the ball

Hart was placed on the third flare of my trac. Middle finger drilled 3 inches deep to reduce excess finger weight. No weight hole was required.

Second on is my BWS. Drilled the same only middle finger didn't have to be drilled so deep . No weight hole needed on this neither.

WARNING: THIS LAYOUT CAN ONLY BE USED IN HIGH MASS BIAS BALLS.

This layout puts alot of negative side weight in the ball. Unless you have a rev rate of 300 or higher I don't recommend this drilling. This layout gets the ball down the lane another 2 to 3 feet . The break point is alot later before it turns hard.

[BubbaRay]

I have "trick layouts" on two of my balls. Off the top of my head I think layouts are 4 3/4" Pin to Pap, 1" Pin from Val. The mass bias on the Revs is at 90 degress and on the Finish is at ~45 degrees. Both have X holes on the axis point. The layouts provide length with a late, sharp break point.

What ball are you considering this layout for? Also what is your approximate ball speed and rev rate?

From the picture xGate that ball looks polished?

[xGatez]

Yea the guy i bought it from had it at 1000, i figured i would leave it like that until i figured out what i wanted to do with it.

I still haven't decided.

[TenPinSniper]

Polished at 1000 Abralon?

[xGatez]

i think so. yea, unless that doesnt sound right. . .

[TenPinSniper]

Usually if it shines it either polished or soaked up alot of oil.

[xGatez]

pretty sure its polished then because the ball hooks way too much to have any oil in it.
