I couldn't disagree more with some of the comments regarding weighthole position in this drill sheet referenced above!
A weighthole closer to the grip center will decrease flare and make ball go longer!? NOt the weightholes I've drilled in that area.
Anyway. I have posted a long winded post on this section. Where to go for drilling info. Upcoming in the next couple of sections is one on weightholes.
Oh, here it comes. WHo am I?
Really nobody. Just a guy who's put over 300 weightholes in about 60 balls over the last 5 months. Mostly just nutty! But I did catalog the results and changes in reactions as I saw them.

PS What I do agree with is that weightholes past the pap increase reaction, and weightholes on the pap and even inside the pap decrease reaction. I am not in agreement with the theory that track flare is causing this increase in reaction.
PPS As reference to believe the experiment done in the following way.
Place a pin on pap drilling on a ball and place cg back towards grip center.
Say a 3 inch pin out ball. Drill a weighthole on pap. Very little track flare, and very little backend reaction.
NOw plug hole. redrill weighthole like brunswick says, 2 1/4 inch past pap on a line from ring finger thru pap. NOw one will see a dramatic increase in backend reaction with no or neglible increase in track flare!
Note track flare can be increased with large weightholes! However many weightholes which are smaller do not effect track flare but DO effect reaction.
