So we all know how to find our axis, no big deal. The question has recently come up to me on what ball do you use. Based on pin placement and core, each ball can track diffently and you can get a different axis read. The only true way, is to use your plastic spare ball....agreed, or I am missing something?

Agreed. Plastic is the truest.

If you take the first oil ring it shouldn't matter to be honest.

I use an old blue hammer. It's urethane so I can see the oil better (my plastic ball is red/gold in my track, hard for me to see), and it doesn't flare. However, like kidjete said, as long as you are using the first oil ring, it shouldn't matter.

If you loft the ball a little, a strong-cored ball can actually begin to flare between the time it comes off your hand and when it lands on the floor, which would mean the first oil ring isn't truly representative. It's best to use something weak really to measure.

Agree'd .. plastic and low-flaring.

Any ball that doesn't flare, or has minimal flare, is best. -- JohnP
