questions on specs..

[Walkin Kamikaze]

I got my specs sheet upon request to get my balls to match the specs of my virtual except for layout and stuff.. my PaP is: 5 1/4 X 1 1/2. I am wondering if that sounds like a Pap or im missing something? also, how would i find my span length cut to cut? on the sheet what does the Horizontal and Vertical mean where mine says 1027 for both.. i am just trying to figure out how to name my specs for better opinions/help on this website in the future..

Your span length cut to cut will be from the edge of the thumb hole to the grip edge minus the thickness of the grips.

Generally the horizontal and vertical refer to the thumb hole oval and thats the amount to move the table. But 1027 doesn't sound right.

The pap measurement are typical high track numbers.


Can you scan the spec sheet so we can see it? That will help decipher it.

yea seems like you have a lot of tilt, which is fine though

[bluerrpilot]

In order to measure tilt, you would need to measure the diameter of your track. The up measurement of your pap is not a very good indication of tilt. Generally, people with a lot of tilt have lower pap coordinates

i will make sure to scan that =) I got it all measured at Kegel and the ball feels perfect on my hand for the most part, so idk about the 1027 or w/e it was.. ill scan it now. it is kinda hard to read though..

yeah i cant get the specs scanned on here.. idk how to make the thing smaller to get on.. it says its like 2500 X 3000 and it needs to be a lot smaller..

ill just ask my driller.. lol =P

o ok idk y i thought the vertical measurement was of tilt. that what does the vertical measurement indicate?

lol idk if that 1027 i gave u was the number.. i looked and they are both like:

,027 or something like that? :confused:

Is it .027?

[Walkin Kamikaze]

Is it .027?

yeah probably.. its .027 for both vertical and horizontal.. whats that mean? and yeah Pap was 5 1/4 X 1 1/2. I cant get it to fit.. so i cant post on here.

[bluerrpilot]

Is it .027?

That would make more sense.

It means the table is moved .027" in each direction after the initial thumb hole is drilled. This is how they drill your oval. And if its the same for both vert. and horz. then your oval is 45 degrees.

oh =P yeah the thing says oval 45.. haha =P makes sense then.. i will eventually figure out how pin placement, PaP placement, and stuff like that affects the ball when i get older and learn more..

It indicates how long your thumb is in the ball at release.

Thats what I was thinking it was too, thats why I asked if it was that, figured it was the only think it could be was the amout of oval.
