Dodo Scale
« on: October 07, 2004, 06:14:27 AM »
I would like a bit of info regarding using the dodo scale.
I do have a very good idea but would like just to run a double check on myself.
I am from South Africa, Cape Town and have been very active in the pro shop with no "Pro". I have recently taken a big interest in ball drilling and am going to ask many more questions of you.  

I am very interested in ball drilling techniques and need to educate myself with facts, facts, facts...

Please send me anything that you think may be of use to me especially, I am looking for a chart for the "thumb pitch" as regards to ball drilling.

Thanking you
Marius

You might want to try to get a hold of a copy of the IBPSIA pro shop manual.  It has general information about fitting a ball, as well as the basic use of a dodo scale.

This should give instructions on the use of the scale.
