Motion holes - anyone done one?
« on: November 02, 2013, 11:53:54 AM »
I'm getting a used IQ Tour and am thinking of putting a motion hole in it.  Has anyone tried one in any ball?  Any feedback would be appreciated.

My pap is 4 1/2 over, 3/4 up. The misfit was drilled pin over ring finger, cg in grip center. I played with the surface a lot. Originally, the oob polish was on it, I went down to 4000 first, smoothed it out even more. Just messing around I went to 2000, smoother yet. Then I went 500 abralon with rough buff on top...best reaction of the surfaces, but no different than pre-motion hole.

Aren't the pin and CG supposed to be stacked? I don't remember and I won't pretend to know if this would make a difference. Mine is.

Not stacked...  essentially the ideal ball is drilled "label".  You want the CG to fall on the grip center or the center line to avoid static weight issues

I see that now by looking at this, thanks.

My PAP is 4 5/8" over but I have a Brunswick Massive Damage with the exact layout in the picture for people with PAPs that are 5" +.  What would happen if for me if I put the MOtion hole on it?

Correct me if I am wrong, but was the Mo Hole not designed specifically for the Yeti core?

I'm not sure, but I think it was the other way around, the Yeti being designed to use with the MoHole.  If you want an accurate answer, go to bowlingchat.net and ask Mo.  --  JohnP
