I've got a fairly good idea now of how a weight hole will affect flare/reaction if it's above or below the PAP on the VAL, but what about weight holes beyond (or, conversely, on the grip side) of the PAP? What type of reaction are you creating there, and what affect do those kind of holes have on static balance for legality purposes?

go to brunsnick.com and he has a video demonstrating it and shows the big differences it makes.

I have a x-factor reloaded with a balance hole about 3/4 inch above the center line and about 1/2 an inch to the left of my pap and it still flares alot. I have a x-factor vertigo with a 5/8 inch hole drilled 3 1/2 inches deep 3/4 inches below the center line at 5 3/16 from my center of grip and it increased the flare of my ball a little bit. The pin is @ 4 1/2 from my pap and I am getting 6-6 1/2 inches of flare. so holes just on the other side of your pap will increase the flare.
