If all you know is one release and try to perform it consistently, you want your PAP to be always the same - this is in an indication of a consistent release.
If you know how to execute different releases, chances are you will have a different PAP for each of them.

Can you tell good or bad releases based on the PAP?
There is a range where a good release is typically in, that being from 5 7/8 to 3 1/2" over and not more than 1 1/2" up or down. Past that there are exceptions to every rule and there is no way of knowing if you have a good release or not based on your measurements.
You can alter your axis rotation without changing your numbers, if you can adjust your tilt then your numbers will change.
A higher differential ball will have a pap closer to the grip center than a pancake weight block that doesn't flare very much. This is because the ball will flare in the air before the ball hits the lane, those who lay the ball down closer to the foul line will not notice this phenomena as much as someone with more loft.

Thanks for the answers to my questions once again! It’s truly amazing the knowledge shared here on this board. I really think I am understanding drillings and ball reactions well - now if I could just keep under & inside & not turn too soon on my release.
