Balance Hole:
High rev rate bowlers should not place balance holes more than 5" from center of span.
Mass Bias Degree Placement:
Mass Bias Degree Placements are determined by the angle formed by a line drawn from the pin to the Mass Bias mark versus a line drawn from the pin to the PAP. Mass Bias Locations are a secondary dynamic influence in determining ball reaction. The pin position relative to the PAP is the most important influence.
The Follwoing are the influences of the Mass Bias placements:
-
0 degree Mas Bias
- Early Roll with smooth breakpoint
- Best for heavier, fresh oil patterns with clean backends
-
45 degree Mass Bias
- Early Roll with strong breakpoint
- Bestfor heavier oil patterns, lower ball tracks and faster ball speeds
-
75 degree Mass Bias
- Medium Length with more angular breakpoint
- Best for inside angles, higher ball tracks and medium oil patters
-
90 degree Mass Bias
- Medium length with smooth breakpoint
- Best for medium oil patterns with clean backends or slower ball speeds
-
135 degree Mass Bias
- Medium length with hook/set backend
- Best for higher rev rates to control over reaction
