It might have been good to add that the PAP on a right handed bowler is on the left side of the ball and on the right side of a left handed bowler. Also maybe in a future video show how to measure out how far the PAP is from the center of the grip
It will help you know how to layout bowling balls to get a desired reaction. Just copying someone else’s layout, thinking the ball will do the same thing for you, frequently leaves one disappointed.
Question....Not new to bowling but new to these layouts.....assuming you are reverse engineering to find the finger hole locations, if you have a new ball (and all balls being different)...how do you get the pap of a ball before you drill it? And can you really translate info from from one ball to the other? Thanks
The PAP is the result of the individual bowlers hand motion and release so it really doesn't change from ball to ball. No ball has a PAP, the bowlers release/ball roll will create the PAP on the ball. If the bowlers changes his release, that can change the PAP even on the same ball. I hope that help to clarify it and thanks for the question!
Good question Randy. The PAP is the result of the rotation measured right after release. The actual drilling of a ball doesn't affect or change the hand motion through the release so the PAP will stay the same. Thanks again for the question and thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
your PAP should not vary much unless you completely change your release . Your PSO will use the PAP from your drilled ball to drill the new ball at a desired motion.
@@jpshick5132 so if I’m learning how to hook and was given a ball but had it drilled out to fit me obviously, whatever my PAP is for that layout will be my PAP period for my own layout?
@@porkchop7268 Yes. Ball layout doesn’t change PAP as it’s just the axis point of where you release the ball. Pitch changes in fingers can alter your release and change PAP but layout won’t
@@jpshick5132 How do we proceed for someone who is bying its very first ball? Pro shops have testing balls already drilled for any hand? I don't remember about this process when I got my old ball drilled, it was 22 years ago. But now I realise that I should wait to get the new one before to get rid of the old one. However, it's too heavy for me and my shot will probably not be natural.
@@bozosmith3506 Just drill a cheap polyester ball with pancake core. You"ll need one anyway for shooting spares. Then determine your PAP and use it to drill your strike ball.
Knowing your PAP, you can then measure the distance from the Pin to the PAP. This measurement is important in deciding what kind of ball motion you want, and helps to understand where the core is in relation to spin; such as horizontal, 45 degrees, or straight up.
