Redrilling Used Balls...
« on: April 12, 2009, 07:50:59 AM »
Let me preface this by saying it is an extremely low level drilling question.  I'm left handed, if I buy a used LH ball, what is the likelihood of my just having to plug and redrill the thumb?  Will the ball most likely roll weird for me or no?

It depends on how the ball is drilled.  If it's fairly close to your spans, you can probably get by with plugging either the thumb or fingers.  You will have to map your PAP on the ball and check what the pin to PAP distance will be after it's plugged and redrilled to get an idea of what the reaction will be.  JohnP
