Effects of a pitched Weight Hole
« on: November 07, 2006, 07:07:54 AM »
Hi all,
I was wondering what the pros/cons and/or benefits are of pitching a weight hole.

Thanks in advance,
BMM

Megamav, if the CG is correctly marked ont he ball in the picture, you may have to worry about too much finger weight. After drilling the gripping holes, you will have a bunch of side weight. Where the hole is marked for now, you'll take out roughly equal side and equal thumb weight(add = finger weight).

You will probably have to remove 1 1/2 - 2oz. of side weight. With the hole in the poace you've marked, you will add roughly the same finger weight. You probably have 3/4 thumb to start before the hole.

I would move the hole up an inch to 1 1/2" from where you have it marked and also move it to the right an inch, so as not to remove as much top weight. It's best to end with a 3/2 ratio top to side for the best leverage weight reactiion. Good lulck. =:^D
