Double thumb on a symettrical ball?
« on: February 19, 2009, 05:57:50 AM »
just wondering if it works or not? was thinking of putting it on a venus but wasnt sure how well it would work on a symetrical cored ball. thanks for the help.

Im so glad people are brainwashed to think that TRACK sucks. And its even funnier when im carrying with my TRACK ball and they''re going flat ten with their OTHER BRANDS ball.

OK, that's what I get for not reading the post thoroughly.  I was thinking about the double thumb, where the thumb hole and balance hole are 6 3/4" from the pin.
And talking about the double thumb, how in the world do you get enough mass in the thumb area to drill the balance hole it calls for and still be legal?  It would almost have to be a 6" pin out ball.  --  JohnP

They recommend using a 3.5 to 5.5  inch pin.. but i agree with you.. I think you would need the 5.5 inch or 6 inch pin to keep it legal
