Total NV Drill Question
« on: February 22, 2007, 03:17:38 AM »
I am drilling a Total NV this weekend. Typically, I use plastic and urethane at home due to a high rev rate and not alot of conditioner. The NV will be a tournament ball where more conditioner is typical.

I was thinking of drilling the ball with Drilling No. 5, the one Ebonite discourages due to a mild ball reaction.  I am looking for a mild reaction, but my concern is whether a ball with low flaring potential will hit the same as one with a maximum flare potential.

Has anyone drilled one this way?  If so, what were the results.

Thanks

I can't answer your actual question.  But I can say that I've drilled several of them with minor variations of the #2 layout and everyone has worked well.  --  JohnP

Before you try this, I would encourage you to go to a Demo Days and throw a demo ball drilled left handed (assuming your right handed) which places the mass bias in your track.  I too thought about doing it and went to a Demo Day event to try it.  For me it rendered the ball completely useless.

  I simply MUST ask this question again.  Why would you buy a Z06 Corvette and remove 4 spark plugs??? Why not get a 4 cylinder to begin with??
