Question
can you tell me were can I get the ball lay-out for the PBA. I just bought a shark and would like to drill it up for the shark oil pattern.I've seen lay-outs with the cg out be the axis and the pin by the finger. My pap is 6 1/4 out from center of grip and the ball flares a dimes width from the fingers and thumb, with lot of revs. or what would be a goof lay-out for me.

thanks


Answer
I would keep they pin higher than the ring finger if possible.  Placing the pin below the fingers will probably make you roll over the finger holes.
I would think placing the pin above the ring finger and the CG   about 3 inches from your PAP would give you a good reaction.  Talk to your ball driller though.

Good luck,
CHip
