    Great video...I watched another pin up / pin down video before this because I didn't understand the difference and yours was much more informative! The other video didn't even show the pins on the balls!

    Appreciate the insights, thanks. Just started league bowling 1.5 yrs ago and have only used 1 ball (my first and only) for all shots & all games. I'm just now considering a second ball and have questions about what kind of ball and how I should have it drilled. This video has cleared up some of the mystery 👍🙌🙏

    Im Sad to say it, but the RG part of the explanation is wrong. An here is why: The Pin (in his cases the yellow dot above or below the fingers) marks the high RG Axis on the core/ball, while the small Global Logo or Mass Bias Marker (to the right an below the Thumbhole of both balls) shows the lowest RG axis of the core/ball.

    Thank you for your help and explanation of pin up and pin down. I have a fatal venom and I just don’t like the end reaction. After watching your videos I have decided to have it redrilled to pin down. Hopefully with this and the polished pearl finish I can control it better.

    Good job explaining this correctly tons of people out there get this wrong. Coverstock strength + surface dictate a lot.

    Another good one Luis to launch 2024! If I were to get an Eternity Pi, I would probably get it drilled pin down.

    Great video. Most of my balls are pin up I have a dv8 mindset that’s pin down so for me it’s hard to adjust during league but I think with your video I’ll be able to do more now and understand clearer.

    Great video. I will eventually get a pro shop to actually watch and map everything for me. Pap, axis, etc. Interesting that you had foot issues at Sam's. I feel it's the best approach in the entire city. Thanks for another great video

    Great video Luis! I have a Eternity pi drilled pin up but it has been reading the lane too early for me and overhooking forcing me to play inside when my A game is normally straighter or around the track area. Do you think I should change the surface to 3k or 4k fast?

    I always thought pin down started earlier and arced more and pin up was the "long and strong" position.

    I struggle game 3. Over/under ,carry down just a struggle. My question is if I have a big assyn but it’s pearl will hitting it with surface be enough. Or should it be solid. I have the eternity rather than eternity pi

    Rather interesting I came across this video..... a little over a month ago I got a Radical Trail Blazer solid on sale and had it drilled pin up .... I less than a week and never throwing it I picked a second one and had it drilled pin down.....and I tested both out to see the difference in ball reaction and movement. I soon figured the pin down would be the starter and most of the time can use all 3 games but when there are games I notice a big difference in the carry down I switch to the pin up... and major tip to all bowlers ...always pay attention to the reaction to others bowlers ..for me , most of the time I make my adjustments or ball changes based on what reaction I see from others .....and many times I've been asked how is it you stay consistent as though the lane conditions never changed for yo but yet we've all over the place.

    Very informative. I think they both looked good going down the lane. Would pin down be better for low speed low rev bowler or pin up which is what I throw now. Also is league back tonight
