Hey everyone, I bought a used lefty's threshold for $35 and am going to plug and redrill it later this week. I have a medium amount of knowledge on drillings and layouts, but I would like a reaction of long and strong on med-heavy oil. I do not know my PAP but if it helps: I track med-low, right handed, med revs, 14-16mph, and about 30 degrees of tilt. Here are some pics of the current layout on the ball if it affects anything:

Since that ball is only meant for medium-heavy oil at a maximum for TRUE average revs poeple, I wouldn't place the pin as high as is currently on that ball. I'd place it below your ring finger, if your track is roughly where you say it is. Also I'd place the MB marker about at least 2" to the right of your drilled thumbhole. This should maximize your ball reaction. The ball should get enough length naturally PLUS due the extra tilt you have (30 degrees is a lot, getting close to spinner territory. Are you sure you know the difference between rotation and tilt?).

No hes a very low tracker. I really think he'll track over the x-hole with the flares.

TO begin with, I assumed he, GeneYuss, was a righty, since he referred to to a "lefty's used ball. Second, since the ball will be plugged and redrilled, the weight hole will be plugged also. I did not mention drilling a weight hole. Third, I have no idea how much the ball will flare for GeneYuss nor how much he rev's it. His driller should know that and have some idea about the ball. Forth, the ball may or may not need a weight hole. Fifth, a weight hole can be placed in many places, in order not to flare over the it.

So, based on that, if you tell me, (and I could be), I am wrong with my suggestion, please detail or in what way. Since GeneYuss stated nothing about his release or delivery specs, like the PAP, it's impossible to know any true details or make any detailed suggestions, which is why mine were so generic, with no mention of a weight hole or its potential location.

K that makes sense. GenEYuss doesn't know his PAP. He shoudl definetly get the weight hole plugged. I understand that they are generic.

Charlest...are you serious...when I get a ball from a righthander...I usually just leave the weighthole unplugged. Then while drilling I try to figure out a way to track around the hole......sometimes it requires another weighthole over on the left side too!

Is that OK?

REgards,

Open the door...see what's possible...and just walk right on through...that's how easy success feels..

LL -- I'm pretty sure you're pulling our legs, but just in case -- NO, that's not OK. The rules only allow one weight hole in a ball. -- JohnP
