Question: How is a PAP measurement expressed?
Answer:
A PAP is written as two numbers: horizontal distance (over) and vertical distance (up or down). Common examples include 4.5" over, 1" up; 6" over, 2" down; or 3" over, 0" (on the midline). These measurements tell the pro shop exactly where to place the layout relative to your grip.

Your Positive Axis Point (PAP) is the spot on your ball that doesn't rotate at release. It's the reference point a driller uses to lay out every ball you own. To find it, throw a few shots with tape on the ball, mark the center of the oil ring, then measure across from the middle of your grip and up or down from the grip's center line, for example 5 inches over and ½ inch up.
