Title: Mismarked CG
Post by: Pdiddy on December 20, 2009, 12:45:29 AM

How do you find the actual CG on a ball?
I have a couple of balls where the marked CG does not seem right to me so I was wondering if there was a way to check it to make sure it is right.

I have a scale to weigh the ball.

Go to the Lane 1 site. There's a how-to there.

A link to the procedure on the Lane 1 website is below.  The procedure references the Lane 1 logo, but it can be used on any ball.  If you need to, simply draw a Lane 1 logo in the area of the label where you think the cg is located.  I like to start out with the first line about 3/4" to the left of the cg.  Then each ball rotation is counterclockwise looking down on the ball.  --  JohnP
