Ok, as I mentioned in the other thread, I set up an experiment a while back, and redid it a few days ago. I was thrilled to see J Brumback mention that he feels the same... anyway, here is what I did:
First, my question was -- how can you put max spin on an ob on a cut bank. I'm no good with the wei tables, but the first thing I did was put a piece of chalk (a penny may have been better) on the rail to ensure I was hitting about the same spot every time. If the chalk didn't fly, I discarded the results. MAybe I need a wei table, but what I did was shoot banks into that chalk from THE SAME ob location, yet I moved the cb from full hits to thin hits.
Let me just say what I found, I think that is less confusing.
1) center ball hits seemed to transfer the maximum english based on seeing how long I could get the ob off that 1 rail.
2) thin cuts and thick cuts could not transfer nearly as much english as HALF BALL hits. This was pronounced. That half ball, center on the cb hits were really the ones to torque that ob over the most.
The results were surprising because you may think that an inside ball would transfer more spin to the ob. This just wasn't true. I couldn't get the ob anywhere near as long with an inside ball than with a center ball.
I'll work on the wei table thing because I think this post is super wordy and lacking And, as always, thanks for any input and/or telling me I am dead wrong (or right ).
