Just wondering what others say about top weight. I prefer to have mine in the 3-3.5 range, but it seems everytime I get a ball it is in th 2- 2.5 range.

These days do these numbers really not matter anymore?

My Bounty Hunter came in and it had 3 inch pin with 2 1/4 top weight, I am going to use a high pin position, is this a top weight that is better for that kind of layout?

I know alot of people say weight statistics aren't worht bothering unless getting to legal limits.  Just curious on NIB top weight issue these days thats all.

What is sandbagging???

Go to the Lane1 forum and ask the buzzbomb people..........

  In all seriousness though, I always seem to have much better looks with balls that have enought topweight before drilling that they still retain some of it after drilling.

 2.5 to 3 oz should be plenty. Less might be a good option for moving the cg WAY over towards the VAL without having to drill a canyon sized x-hole.

In my experience statics make a difference just not as much as coverstock and weight block. With a high pin placement the TW will determine where and how deep finger holes and balance hole will be.

I understand that aspect, but all in all a ball driller is getting paid to do his-her best job. So I must say if you get the ball drilled by a pro shop operater, YES it should be taken into consideration even if its not going to be noticed...your paying for it.
