balance hole on negative side, is it possible ?
« on: February 13, 2005, 04:31:10 PM »
the ball 1st drill with label leverage, 1:30 layout (3-4 pin placement), I ask my driller to plug it and redrill it to pin under ring and set it to postive and thumb weight in 1:1 ratio, when i weight the ball in do-do scale with my driller, I find the original CG is shifted a lot, I tried to put the pin under ring and shift the original CG locator toward to PAP at almost 2" and it count as only as 1/4 oz postive, (I think it is because of the plug work on the thumb hole) I have no choice and let him drill with this layout (pin under ring and cg slightly under and 2" to PAP, finally, after drilling, the ball have ending 1/2 oz top, 1/4 oz side weight and 1/8 oz finger weight, I tried to throw it but the ball is flatten out (wash out and not break in the back end, even my spare ball can hook out of this). So I decide to drill my middle finger deep as 3" and hope it can save some more postive side and thumb weight. Problem is slove a little, it move some more (3-5 boards) but very easy to roll-out and transit to massive forward rolling when drive to the pocket. some time the ball flare over the thumb in the middle of the lane, I think I got too much thumb weight this time.

My plan is to drill a balance hole on the NAL to gain back the postive side weight, but I am at doubt that the top weight of my ball is now altered, (may be zero due to I drilled the middle finger hole deep). can anyone help me to suggest where should I put the balance hole and how deep ? I don't want my uranium died like that because of the poor plugged work.

more, is it good to put a balance hole on the NAL ?

My intial track is 1" from both finger and thumb hole with average+ ball speed and revs, and 45 axis rotation.

It doesn't hurt anything to place a hole on the negative side.
You can use the dodo scale to find out how much top weight the ball has.
What kind of reaction are you looking for?
The placement can help a little bit with reaction enhancement no much though.
Hole placement and size/depth is dependant on what you are looking for.

I have a intense inferno with the layout of pin under ring and postive side and thumb weight to produce a long arcing action, so I decide to redrill my pearl uranium with the same pin position but fail.

thanks for your reply

misread the first time drilling the finger deeper to add thumb weight will do the opposite of what it appears you are looking for.
I am assuming you want more length.
If that is the case you want finger weight not thumb weight.

static weight affects on length
length adders - pos. side, finger, top
reducers - neg sdie, bottom, thumb.

If you do indeed want more length I would suggest a SMALL deep hole past your NVAL in the thumb quad this will add pos side, finger, and top weight.
If you are looking for less length reverse the suggestions.
I would place the hole as far from you grip as you can without flaring over it.
