Title: BOMB & Locator Pin
Post by: rkaycom on October 22, 2004, 08:51:18 PM

If the BOMB is the balls MB then whats the Locator Pin for? Or is the Locator Pin the MB? That would make more sense because the MB is sometimes refered to as; "The Secondary Pin" if this is ture then what is the BOMB for?

The locator pins are 3/8" to 3/4" in diameter.  They indicate the top of the core.  the smaller "secondary pin" on some MB balls is only 1/8" or so in diameter.  It locates the heavy/denser side of the core.  The cg mark is on or very near the imaginary line between those two "pins".
