If the ball is over flaring the decreasing hole will help bring the oil rings tighter and will make the ball read the lanes earlier. The Decreasing hole is usually (I think) exact center of the pin to your pap.

If Im wrong here, please dont bite my head off for it. Just politely correct me.

maybe a decreasing hole isn't right for me...i want the ball to get down the lane a little further...but maintain what little backend reaction that it does have...lmk what you think...

Fury...4 1/2 X 4 1/2

okay...it's worth a shot, i really want to like this ball...my pap is 5 over 3/4 up...so i would go 3 7/8 from grip center and 2 1/4 below my pap right?

oh...and not sure about thumb weight.

thank you. i'll let you know how it goes.

btw...no grips...tiny fingers...might have to go REAL deep. the cg is just below my center line though so i think it'll be fine.

after taking a closer look at the way my fury was flaring...we realized that the flare separation was less than 1/4" apart. my driller and i decided on a flare increasing x-hole...1" past my axis (less than 2 1/4 to avoid flaring over it). made it a little better. my driller also suggested drilling the thumb deeper, into the core. he talked about this with tod grams who said it sometimes helped a lot. so he did that...what an animal! still doesn't hook as much as i thought it would, but the hit/carry/backend all improved tremendously. going to give it a go on a fresh shot tomorrow and see how it goes.
