Double Thumb Help
« on: March 12, 2010, 01:42:03 AM »
first time trying the double thumb layout... i layed out and drilled the ball with the balance hole. put it on the scale and it had too much finger weight. so i drileld the fingers deeper. now i have a ball with 1/2 oz side 1/2 finger and a little over 3oz bottom weight.  

how do i get that bottom weight under 3oz?

thanks in advance

NO!!!  Drilling the thumb deeper will INCREASE bottom weight, not decrease it.  Pour enough plug in the balance hole and/or thumb hole and/or finger holes to reduce the bottom weight to less than 3 oz but not enough to increase the finger weight to above 1 oz.  --  JohnP

reweigh your bottom wt and make sure?

I'm w/ John on this one.. If you're definitely over the 3oz wt limit then you'll have to put some plugging in the wt hole..
