What makes a Ball Legal? (Ending Static Weights)
« on: May 12, 2005, 11:04:42 AM »
Hi everyone, can anyone here on the board tell me what the Regulations are for making a ball legal?

How much maximum side weight can you have after the ball is punched up?
Thumb Weight
Finger Weight
Etc.

Thanks for your help!

After drilling, the following tolerances are allowed in the balance of the ball:

1. For a ball weighing 10.0 pounds or more:
a. Not more than three ounces difference between the top of ball (finger hole side) and
the bottom (solid side opposite finger holes).
b. Not more than one ounce difference between the sides to the right and left of the
finger holes or between the sides in front and back of the finger holes.

2. For a ball weighing more than 8.0 pounds but less than 10.0 pounds:
a. Not more than two ounces difference between the top of the ball and the bottom.
b. Not more than 3/4 ounce difference between the sides to the right and left or
between the front and back of the finger holes.

3. For a ball weighing less than 8.0 pounds:
a. Not more than 3/4 ounce difference between the top of the ball and the bottom.
b. Not more than 3/4 ounce difference between the sides to the right and left or
between the front and back of the finger holes.

Measure them separately.  Don't have to add them up or anything.
