Customer brought in a Thing Returns with an 8" pin and 2oz top.

Placed the pin about 1.5" above the ring finger, cg was down under the thumb.

After drilling the grip and placing inserts I came out to 1oz side and 1oz thumb.

Dropped the weighthole in a quasi-target weight, final statics ended up .5oz side .5oz thumb and 0 top.


Was definetly a challenge to set up and map out to allow dynamic placement as well and minding statics.  Wish I had a camera to snap a picture.

Still, first time I had ever seen an 8" pin, much less layed out and drilled one.

Interesting story, just thought I'd share.

Not sure, he drilled it yesterday near the end of the day.  I'm sure we'll get feedback this week.  Once we do I'll pass alogn for sure.  He may even be able to snap a pic with his cell phone or something.

Well, I had the same bottom weight prob with my vendetta red/black, I've used this ball on some sick experiments and this one is the best... She has over 6 months drilled like that and I really love her... I am a righty, BTW, check this out
