leverage?
« on: April 13, 2005, 09:18:35 PM »
is there any real difference in label vs stack leverage. i believe the cg's move..but is that all? what would the diffent reactoins on the ball be?

say...a gp2 if we need to get specific.

thanks

bob

with gp2 you dont pay attention to the cg(only use it for legal weight reference) since there is a marked mass bias..btw

Fonz didn't say that.  It's just that position of the mass bias is more important than position of the CG.  Typically, the pin, CG, and MB are in a relatively straight line.  Drilling a ball like that label vs. stacked leverage will be similar to drilling a symmetric ball label vs. stacked leverage since the MB will move like the CG.  You'll get a smoother, more controllable arc rather than a hard  snap.

Some asymmetric balls don't have the pin, CG, and MB in line.  A friend of mine has an Animal Untamed where the CG is quite a bit out of line.  He put the pin next to his ring finger and MB swung way out to the VAL.  But the CG is a little bit on the label side of stacked.  He doesn't need a weight hole with that drilling since the CG is so far out of line.  But he gets the reaction you'd expect from the MB being out so far: early, continuous hook.
