Bowler Specs Affecting Dual Angle Sweet Spot

  • Ball speed
  • Rev rate
  • Axis tilt
  • Axis rotation

Finding Your Benchmark Total Sums

STEP #1... Find Initial Total Sums analizing Speed/Rev Relationship

Start your calculations by finding the relationship between ball speed and rev rate. An example of a well matched bowler would be 17mph speed and 300rpm (off the hand). For each 1mph increase or decrease in speed, a corresponding increase or decrease of about 50rpm would stay matched. Bowlers who are speed/revs matched would start their calculations with 95* of sums. Link Text

Rules of thumb:

  • For the first 50 revs of imbalance (in excess), add 10* to the Total Sums.
  • For the first 1 mph of speed imbalance (in excess), subtract 10* from the Total Sums.

If the speed/revs imbalance is extremely high or low, you would add or subtract extra sums to compensate accordingly.

STEP #2...Adjust Initial Sum (of step #2) for very high or very low tilt & rotation.

Mo will also lower the sum of angles for those with very high tilt & rotation, or raise the sum for those with very low tilt & rotation.

For tilt adjustments, we are using 13* to 17* of tilt as the normal tilt range.

For rotation adjustments, we are using 45* to 60* of rotation as the normal rotation range.

Rules of thumb:

  • Lower totals by about 10° for high tilt
  • Raise totals by about 10° for low tilt
  • Lower totals by about 5° for high rotation
  • Raise totals by about 5° for low rotation

If the tilt or rotation is extremely high or low, you could add or subtract extra sums to compensate accordingly.
