I decided to take all of my equipment to the pro shop to get weighed before nationals.  Don't worry, it was only 6 balls.  The main reason was that I had one ball in question that I thought a driller might have messed up.  That ball in question is my bully.  We'll, that ball was well within the specs, but it was my spare ball that was out.  

Ok, now the spare ball that I have is an Ebonite Zebra IV.  It is drilled with fingers and thumb on center stripe and the pin/cg are on the side (6 5/8" right of grip center).  The ball has about 2.5 oz of side wt. and to make it legal it would need a hole somewhere around the pap.  Has anyone ever had to do this before?  If so, have you had any problems with it?  Would it be worth it to make this ball legal?  My reason is that even though it is a single drill, the thumb has been plugged and redrilled due to major cracking around it, and it is starting to do the same thing again.

Your bowling is only as good as your spare making ability.

Last time I went to nationals I had 3 balls that had problems!  The funny thing is that they all had passed the year before.  One of the balls was an old green LT48 that I use as my spare ball.  They punched a balance hole in it right there and then.   Weird Weird Weird....   Never noticed any real difference.

A guy who bowls here has an old Brunswick Axis plastic ball with a weight hole.  The pin is not real far off the grip center, but he used it at Nationals and they said it was illegal.  Must have had real high or low top weight to go out of legal  with that small of a shift.

I have a Zebra 2 with a weight hole right in the
middle of the red center. Had no problem here.
