    I have 4 basic layouts i use...... symetrical 60x4.5x30 - pin up and 60x4.5x60 pin down
    asymetrical 55x5x30 pin up and 65x5.5x60 pin down
    Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation

    Would you indulge me and tell me why you use each of those layouts and what they do for you to help me get a better understanding?

    Arsenal consists of mainly 15# Motiv balls, I have several now and they are the bomb! Too many to list and carry. Still have a couple Hammer balls and my AMF RPM Swirl (old reliable) & 25+yr old Linds worth a mention
    Currently 535+ Rev Rate @ 19 MPH (This probably needs to be updated, I think I've toned each down a click or two these days. I'm letting the ball do more of the work as I get older.)

    basically I use the longer pin to pap to control the flare due to my slow speed (12mph). Too much flare and the ball hits like a wet marshmellow for me. I prefer pin down balls due to their slower transition and rsulting arc vs snap. The pin up balls are layed out to be more anguler so that when i am forced in and have to open my angles I have the recobvery to kick out the 10. I also have a couple balls with strong covers (Absolute Truth and REspect) That are drilled 60x5x30 (again due to my slow speed) but they need OIL for me to throw effectively. I drilled my son a Respect and webt 50x4.5x30 for his he's young and still has speed (LOL)
