can you change your weight on your ball?
« on: February 29, 2004, 07:21:22 AM »
i have a ball thats 15 pounds and its wayyy to heavy for me even though its 1 pound more than im use to rolling. is there a way i can make it 14 pounds by drilling an extra hole or something and getting it to balance. i can roll the 14 fast and like i want . but this new one which is an inferno takes a lot out of me. what can i do?

Riiiiight.  Not a chance.  You'd have to drill two holes at the very least, both with the biggest bit you can find (1 3/8ths), as deep as the press will let you go.  There would probably have to be three holes; one above your fingers, one below your thumb, and one on your axis, but that sucker would be SUPER negative weighted then.

Yeah, I know, that's why I said it'd be super negative weighted.  I guess there's room for an extra hole too, isn't 7 the max you can have drilled into the ball?

lol you guys should go back and read your post to see how absurd it is. 11 holes??? lmao! that would be nuts... and you'd prolly track over at least a couple of them. you could always do like that one guy did and sand off the pound
