When did Brunswick start going with the MO sized pins? Did i miss something? Seems like some of the others aren't as big, but still big...

I think if the pin cracks during the curing process, the pin is drilled out and filler poured into the hole.

From the old Columbia site:
http://columbia300.net/innovation/techdocs.cfm?id=19
quote:
"The Assembly Process"
A hole is drilled in the core, and the core is placed on a pin at the required height in the mold. The cut-a-way picture shows a core positioned on a pin before pouring. The rest of the mold is then assembled and the shell material is poured.
After the shell material has been poured and allowed to harden, the mold will be broken away from the ball and the pin removed leaving a hole. This hole is then plugged with a different color resin in order to help your pro shop determine where the core is positioned under the shell.
From the Ebonite factory video from the History Channel, it looked to be a similar process.
I had wondered about how "bad pins" were created, and BrunsNick was able to give a little insight, but I don't think either of us were able to find out how exactly a "bad pin" is formed.
I wonder if the pin can sometimes be inserted into the core at an incorrect angle, or maybe it shifts during the molding process?
I always thought that the pin was the actual part that was inserted into the core and that the rest of the ball was molded around it. Then I figured the pin was cut down and eventually smoothed out during the final cutting/sanding process. Pins always seemed more "plastic" to me than the rest of the coverstock.
If it is actually drilled out and replugged, maybe they are just using a larger bit (for what ever reason).

I remember reading something to this effect from one of the Brunswick people around here.
