Have seen this going on for a while.

Ball stated to be single drill, get pictures, and you can see thumb has been slugged, then redrilled.

Some say that is a single drill, because a slug was used, and ball was not plugged.

I guess if they had slugs for the fingers and they were used, you could keep putting in slugs3/4 times and still have a single drilled ball.

What is a single drilled ball to you?

If a slug is used, then drilled, is it a single drill, some people seem to "think", just because a slug was used, (and not actually having is fillied up with plug material) .

OK, Here we go! Joe bowler likes the feel of brand X pre-drilled oval but since he likes a LOT of bevel and pre drilled only comes in 1 1/8 and his pro shop dosen't like to bevel into the ball itself, he puts a 1 1/4 solid and then drills 1 1/8 inside for the other. SINGLE DRILLED?

It is to me!

as long as NO plug was used, and the drill is exactly over the 1 1/8" hole. Still a single drill.

When I've sold balls here in the past, I've even broken it down further for people so as to avoid this confusion. Here's how I prefer to write it:

"Fingers: 1st drill. Thumb: 2nd drill."

That gives people more information to work with. Unless both sets of holes are the first drill -- with no double-slugging and do plug work -- I'll split the fingers and thumb information.

Otherwise, "second drill" could mean a thumb hole plugged for span change, or a full plug, or a full plug plus plugging a weight hole, which is enough plug work to seriously degrade the value of the ball overall.

Fingers "poured" to change the finger pitch and drilled back into the exact same hole is a single drill.

Qstick, poured means the same material used to plug holes and filled above the surface of ball to change span, layout, etc. was poured into the finger holes only to the top of holes and even with the surface of ball and redrilled into the exact same holes changing only the pitches, thus nothing is drilled beyond the original hole.

PROMISE....This is my last reply. THERE IS NO PLUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MOUTHBIG....There is NO plug....ITS JUST A SLUG>>>>>>Some of you people really have no clue! Sorry for getting upset about such a simple thread, but DAM If I drilled the entire 1 1/2" slug out, put a soild in it, used no plug....Still really a single drill. 2X drills are where the cores are manipulated by drilling into them, plugging and redrilling in different spot. Even if its 1/16" ,,,then YES its a 2X drill. But NO core change has been made since the slug change.

I took this post as that pnj was just asking opinions also. I never looked at it like he was saying anything bad about anyone. As a matter of fact, I re-read the post and some of the answers and still don't see where anyone would think this was a bashing thread.

Just so everyone knows....The Track Temper is MINE, This ball had a switchgrip thumb which is a 1 1/2" hole. I took the sleeve out ans installed a 1 1/2" solid urethane slug. Then drilled the slug. HOW IS THIS BY ANY MEANS NOT A SINGLE DRILL?? I see most perple here DO understand this, aside from a couple. This ball has had NO WHATSOEVER plugging! Sorry, but I take pride in the condition of my equiptment, and I don't appreciate other people INCORRECTLY speaking of it.

It is a ball that has not be plugged. Some would call it a "single drilled ball" Changing inserts or a slug is not plugging a ball. Therefore it remains a "single drilled ball"

Hey guys, I am going to lock this. All I wanted was to get some good discussion, not having users taking shots at one another.

There sure does seem to be allot of different opinions on this.

proshopguy, sorry your ball was used as an example.

When I look at a ball and can see some thing other then the original holes, to me it's a second drill. Example thumb changed, and you can see part of the ball and part of the plug/slug was drilled into, to "me" thats a second drill.

Did any one actually look at the picture as an example?
