Question
Hi Chip, I am a lefthander, 330-340 rev rate, 60 y.o. I have recently been concerned about my track area. I c I have more difficulty on oily conditions, although i fair well. Related to PAP, is it important to drill accordingly or does it make that much difference and could that cause a low track, 2-2.5 in. from thumb and fingers. 41/2 span. 1/8th away,(left) pitch, 1/8th reverse. 17-18 ball speed. I am obsessed with this track problem and am wondering if I am making to much out of it. What could raise it? Thanks for all the help. Great site. Jerry

Answer
Layouts will help with that and the most important will be the relationship with your PAP.

You can try altering the lateral pitches in all 3 holes towards the right to keep you behinde the ball longer.

In extreme cases, you could take an old ball and place the pin to the left of your grip center.

Good luck,
Chip
