I recently got a spare ball and I noticed its pin is directly opposite of my grip. so the pancake is at the bottom of my grip. I never seen this done on a spare ball before. have you?
-
I have seen it, but I've never really put too much thought into why that is the case.
-
I wonder if they make the internals of some pancake core balls by placing the pancake in a mold and filling the rest with filler (with pin on top). Then take the pancake filler combo and then add the cover.
-
It is merely pinned in the bottom the mass is still on 'top' or 13.5" from the pin...it minimizes cracking
-
I was wondering whether or not cracking had anything to do with it. That makes sense.

My first reaction to this topic was to answer: Yes. SOme do as some have real cores in them. I have the Clear Wolf from Ebonite. With the actual Wolf weightblock in it, it has a pin position so you can set the weightblock as you like...although being clear you could do that anyway without the pin, lol. I would think the Lane#1 XXXL would as well with the Diamond core it has in it.
Then I read the topic and realized that my initial thoughts may not be correct, lol. But I thought I would add my two cents. I think it depends on the nature of the ball. There are still a few spare balls with real cores in them, I believe, so it may not always be the case as it is with the pancake weight blocks.

They are all 'real' cores just differing dynamics...
