BALANCE HOLE
High rev rate bowlers should not place balance holes more than 5”
from center of span.
All layouts are for right-handed players. Please reverse the layout
for left-handed players.

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 infl uence in
determining ball reaction. The pin position relative to the PAP is the most
important influence. The following are the influences of the Mass Bias
placements:

0º Mass Bias–– Early Roll with smooth breakpoint. Best for heavier, fresh oil
patterns with clean backends
45º Mass Bias – Early Roll with strong breakpoint. Best for heavier oil
patterns, lower ball tracks, and faster ball speeds
75º Mass Bias – Medium Length with more angular breakpoint. Best for
inside angles, higher ball tracks, medium oil patterns
90º Mass Bias – Medium length with smooth breakpoint. Best for medium oil
patterns with clean backends or slower ball speeds.
135º Mass Bias – medium length with hook/set backend. Best for higher rev
rates to control over reaction
