Importance of Your Ball Track, PAP, and Axis Shift
Want your ball drilled for your game?
Then you need to know your PAP, Axis Shift and BALL TRACK. Don't know what that all means? In the past, ball manufactures included a drill sheet with a new ball. The problem with that drill sheet is that is was wrong about 50% of the time.
WHY? Because not everyone has the same Ball Track, PAP, and Axis Shift. That is why every bowler needs to have an on-lane analysis - to acquire all that information.
If a bowler buys a bowling ball without knowing their PAP, Axis Shift and Ball Track, the chances of them getting a ball that does not match up to their individual specs is VERY HIGH, meaning they just spent several hundred dollars for a ball that does NOT match up to their game.
Make sure you get the right ball. Make an appointment with us and get the ball for you.
