Title: What is the depth of H2O engraving
Post by: Moon57 on December 17, 2006, 05:51:52 AM

Hi. Got an H2O off EBay. The engraving on the ball feels pretty smooth. The serial# is plenty deep but I don't want to have the lettering start disappearing on me if I do any resurfacing. I think that is the point where the ball becomes undersize and not legal anymore. Never had a Lane 1 ball before so don't have anything to go by. Thanks

As long as the seral #'s are visable you are ok.

2-3mm at least. I would not worry too much about this - like Buzzhead states, as long as the serial number is visible you are O.K., and to render a ball illegal through sanding will be quite an effort.

Thanks guys. I feel better now. Never had a ball feel so smooth over the engraving.
