« on: March 14, 2005, 04:38:03 PM »
I was talking to someone about the Shock and Awe. They said you need to have it drilled "Target Weighting" technique.What is this?Is this drilling technique just for Morich balls?Thanks!

How do you know what the correct hole-size to use is...Is there also a chart for that?

I just drilled a Ravage today.  Pin 2.5 inches from PAP, 1.75 inches above the midline.  MB is 6.5 inches from PAP, left of midplane (thumb).  The ball has a short pin, so it ended up with 2 ounces of side weight, and 2.75 ounces of top weight.  My question is, where should I put the weight hole?  I have been trying to figure out the target weighting system, but to no avail.  I want the hole to be flare decreasing, so I should put it inside my VAL correct?  My other question is once i've found a spot for the weight hole, how big of a hoel and how deep should I go?  Incase you are wondering, there is no finger or thumb weight, as I drilled the fingers deeper.  I also drilled the ring finger a half inch deeper than the middle to cut some side weight out.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

So how deep should I go to start with exactly 1 ounce?  Or should I start the hole and re-weigh to see where i'm at, and go from there?

If you want to target weights perfectly, all you need is Lane #1's Gravity Balance System. This has been around for a long time.

Yes, ending weights do matter..!! By changing the ending weights, you will change the ball reaction/spin time, PSA, ect... =:^D
