But make sure that you won´t drill on your track. Maybe you need to adjust the hole to the right. Mark the Mass Bias with a tape and throw some shots to make sure the this position will not be flared over.

EX: Distance from MB to PAP is 6 inches. Start at PAP and on that line, at each 2 inch interval, make a mark. That will give you 4 locations. I would take a bit around 13/16 or 27/64 and drill a hole 2 inches deep in the P3 location. Since you only have 1/2 side and 1/2 thumb, I would not go too big, nor too small a drill bit. Take a medium size and go 2 - 2 1/2 inches deep.
This should help increase the flare by an inch or so. If you need more, go up 2 drill bit sizes until you get the desired reaction.

but you won´t see much different reaction by using a small drillbit or not drilling deep enough.
Both ideas are based on increasing Diff to get more Hook down the lane.
So it doesn't matter much if the ball gets some negative side weight or finger...
Try it - worst case you need to plug it...

Well, the reason why I have it drilled up like it is because I want it to be smoother and for lighter oil just like my too hot that is drilled straight up label. Basically, I really don't need my hot rod to hook more, just rev up a little easier and still be smooth as it is down lane. I was thinking a double thumb layout, but that kind of makes it rev and hit more on the back. However, because of how weak this ball is, using a 3/4 bit and drilling 2 inches deep might do it.

So if I do a 3/4 hole close to the thumb on the hot rod it might be a little too jumpy on the back, but if I stick it out further like on the val, it might hook more than what I am wanting.

I have a question. Early in this thread there was talk of drilling finger holes deeper. Lately on all my stuff the fingers especially the ring finger has been drilled so deep I thought they might hit China. On most of the balls I have not gotten any extra reaction and in most cases it's far less than older stuff I've had drilled by a different driller. I get more revs from the older stuff with normal depth holes. Not trying to hijack the thread but does anyone know why this would be done?
sometimes drillers drill the ring finger deeper (for right handers) to take out excess side weight (if they dont want to use a balance hole)
