Title: Span change..................
Post by: nd300 on September 30, 2005, 12:25:34 AM

Awhile back I had posted a topic about a possible span change based on right ring finger pain that I had last year and at the start of this year.
 After talking with my pro shop operator,we remeasured everything and came up with my span being almost 1/4" long. To make a long story short, I got a ball and it was set up with this new span----1/4" shorter. Throwing it in league on Wednesday was a pleasant surprise. The ball almost fell off my hand and I found I could really relax and watch and learn with this new ball. A 607 was the result,and considering that this was a span change and a new ball to me I am a happy camper.  My question is this....Will redrilling and moving the thumbs in my arsenal to make up the difference affect the weights in the ball????? And how much????????? Thanks in advance for all replies.............

shortening you span by a 1/4",...not enough to notice any difference.

You should find any ill effects from shortening the span 1/4".  The balls will be fine.

Did Tim drill your new ball?
