Drilling out the Mass Bias
« on: March 21, 2006, 06:23:52 PM »
Lets say you take a ball with high MB and drill out the locater pin/mark with your thumb hole. Does that defeat the purpose of the MB since your removing the weight ?

No. Unless the core is somehow directly positioned below the marker (which normally is not the case), the MB position will still have normal influence. I think you'd have to drill the thumb hole significantly deep to alter MB influence this way, I think the impact will be minimal.

To my knowledge if you drill out the mb your taking away from the bias weighting and the ball will have a lesser reaction then if you did not drill it out. All drill diagrams I've seen have never shown any drilling near enough to the mb to effect reaction. your reaction is based on pin position and mass bias position so it would not be smart to drill out the mb.
