re-drill ball need advice
« on: September 22, 2005, 07:19:39 PM »
Recently I got in my hot little hands a smokin' inferno, and the proshop guy drilled it slightly different to my old balls (from about 3 years ago). The ball feels compeltely different- nearly perfect now! The problem is-the inferno comes off my hand really well- I just realised my old balls seem to hang a bit on my thumb as I got basically very minimal revs on release (as compared to the new drilling).
My question is, should I get my old balls "redrilled" and how much $$$ would be reasonable (as I bought the old ones from the same proshop guy)as all that I think needs to be done is extra off the side of the thumb hole?

WHat you should pay is very regionally specific, according to the costs associated with such activity. No one here on ballreviews, except those in the area in which you live should give you specific dollar amounts. If you tell your pro shop you'll be doing 5 balls or 10 balls, then you should probably get a volume discount. Plugging, the routing, then sanding, then drilling, then customizing the hole is not 10 seconds work. While nothing should go wrong, it is too easy for something to go wrong. Some, like those with inserts are easier and quicker than others.

You should get all the balls that you are going to use done; so that, in as far as humanly possible, they all feel identical.
