Drilled up a Max Zone yesterday and the ball is flaring backwards. Initial track position looks like any other ball I throw. Can't figure out why.
Ball is drilled 5.5 inches pin under with a hole in the thumb quadrant center of grip through cg at 6 inches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

a little off topic, i have a no mercy that has the hart on the right side of thumb (should be left side). this is causing the ball to flare a very small amount, and it does flare "backwards". If I pop a large hole in the true mb (6 3/4 to the right, perpendicular to the line drawn from pin the hart) will this negate the mb value and cause the ball to flare correctly?

The more than likely problem is that the marked mass bias is too close to your PAP or 0 degrees. If it is minimal flare or back flaring, then it is probably close to 0 degrees.

I would suggest going 3 3/8" away from the presumed/perceived mass bias, down the VAL. This should have a better chance of opening up the flares.

Yeah.. if your hart is to the right of the thumbhole then the actual MB is past the PAP. This is more than likely your problem. Who drilled it wrong?

it was drilled for cheetah pattern, ball did what it was supposed to do for the individual who had it before me. i was just looking to get it to flip a bit more, and yes the mb is like an inch away from my VAL.

Ric, knowing this should i still go down the VAL 3 3/8 off the mb?

I would go 3 3/8" from your PAP if the mass bias is that close to the PAP.
