I am just curious as to how everyone measures side weight and the different styles of doing it.  Thanks, Derek

I am aware of the dodo scale as that is how I measure my side and top weight I just wasn't sure how to measure side weight.

a quarter scale and a kaufman measuring scale are essential to doing it properly. experienced drillers can guestimate how much a ball will have when shifting a cg left or right, with the properly labeled topweight on the box. But with mass production there are mislabeled productions that happen occasionally so scaling a ball after drilling is essential.
