okay. thanks.Originally Posted by bowl1820
As I said in my example.
A ball with a 3-4" pin and 2-3oz. of top weight. would work for most typical layouts.
Right handed Stroker, high track ,about 13 degree axis tilt. PAP is located 5 9/16” over 1 3/4” up.Speed ave. about 14 mph at the pins. Medium rev’s.High Game 300, High series 798

okay. thanks.
whats the meaning of the PAP?
P.A.P. means "Positive Axis Point" this is referring to the initial axis your ball is rotating around when you release the ball.
It is used in laying out a ball to predict how the ball will react.

oh!!! okay.. so much better now.. thanks!!
what's CG? never noticed that thing before..
Center of Gravity (CG)
The addition of the internal weight block will create an uneven distribution of weight in the ball. This imbalance will result in a portion of the ball being heavier. Identifying the heaviest portion of the ball is the first step in being able to effectively use this imbalance.
Center of Gravity (CG)
Since a portion of the ball is heavier than the rest, logic would dictate that gravity will pull the heaviest side of the ball down to the bottom of the ball. With the heaviest portion now located at the bottom of the ball – the ball is completely at rest. The axis running from the point touching the ground through the top of the ball is known as the center of gravity (CG). The whole mass of the bowling ball is concentrated around this axis.
An easy way of understanding the concept of CG is using a top as an example. A top is an unbalanced object with one part being heavier then the other. When putting the top into motion, it will eventually spin or rotate around a fixed or central axis. This point or axis (where the weight of the object is evenly distributed) is the CG.
Some ball manufacturers will determine and identify the CG on the ball by putting a punch mark into the ball. This mark is usually located somewhere within the label of the ball.
