Layout on bowling balls


Question
I've been bowling for awhile, and I just wanted to take my bowling to the next level by laying out my own balls because I know my own game. I have the bowling balls, but I have no idea how to lay them out. I know what type of reaction I want, but I'm not sure how to lay them out so I get the reaction I want. I kind of want you to take this as if I'm a 3rd grader because I want to know everything.

My PAP is 5 1/2" right and about 3/8" up. ~15-16 MPHs, 370 RPM, and very low tilt (~4-5 degrees).

Could you explain to me what happens if I drill my ball 5" Pin to PAP vs a ball drilled 3" Pin to PAP? How do you measure where to place the CG, etc etc?

For example, I want a ball that gets through the heads and midlane, reads the friction and makes a gradual but continuous motion to the pins. How am I supposed to drill my ball, considering my style, and, most importantly, why do you drill it that way?

Answer
This would be much easier to answer if we had some one on one time.  If you go to the following web site, you will be able to find a lot of very good information. http://www.morichbowling.com/Drilling/BowlingBallDrilling.htm

There a a couple of links in the article that are very helpful as well.  

Once you take a look at this and still have a question, I will be able to help better.

Basically, as you move the pin from above the bridge towards the side of the ball, you change the balls reaction.  Above the fingers create length.  As you move the pin the the leverage point,(3 3/8s inches from your PAP), you create more flare and earlier hook.  Once you go past 3 3/8ths, you start to weaken the ball or lessen the overall hook.

If you place the pin below the bridge, the ball will read the breakpoint quicker that above, but the same principles apply to the 3 3/8ths point.

Moving the CG will help control the shape of the breakpoint.  As you move the CG away from the center of your grip, the earlier the ball will start its hook and the more continuous the motion through out the length of the lane.  

With a ball that has a mass bias mark, it is much easier to see this relationship.  The mass bias to the right of the thumb creates a more continuous arcing motion while placing the mass bias to the left of the thumb creates a hook/stop type of motion.

The web site will help a lot if you take the time to play around on it.

I have gone to several seminars that Mo has given and he is the best.

Good luck,
