Just curious...what were the weights when you measured vs. those recorded at nationals? I have heard horror stories...

horror stories aside I make em run it on the dodo scale, the electronics are quick but oh so off if they dont find the true center of your grip (mine are marked)i had to weigh two last year on the dodo

anyway my xp was 5/8 over on side I knew it was over but when i weighed it up at home I was at 1/8 over (beans weighed it and punched the hole in it andI took it to the scale room and had them weigh it on the dodo, came in at 15/16)

my other illegal ball was not over on wieght according to beans the balance hole was too big since I pitched it away (I had a 1.25 hole, max hole size) but pitching it makes it larger at the surface, scale room looked close but let me slide thru

I'll second that Trigg. I was out in Albuquerque last week and had the chance to meet Beans and check out the Lane #1 booth. Based on my scores, I should have taken the $$$ that I put into brackets and bought a couple of new balls at the booth instead. Thanks again for the patches Beans!
