Does anyone have access to the layout sheet for the Azo Apex?
I have the sheets for the Fat Man and Little Boy and may have mistakenly used those to layout and drill a 14# Apex. I managed to layout the Apex in such a way that it doesn't flare.
I have a 15# Little Boy and had much more success getting a real reaction out of that ball after following the recommendations on the sheet.

Try and email the new AZO, they may have the specs or can get them for you.
I've considered that, but the only e-mail addresses on their new site appear to go to distributors, not the actual company.

I don't have the sheet, but I did find this on the internet:
quote:
AZO: Apex
Distinguishing Characteristics - AZO's Apex uses a Cranberry red
Particle cover with a matte finish. This cover is a lighter particle load (no
rough "fuzzy" feel) and sands or polishes easily. AZO uses the Twin Tower core in the Apex the main bulb core is taller, has a large flip block on bottom, and dual flip blocks on top with dual pins. The high Rg core provides length, and the medium Rg differential offers 4 to 6 inches of flare potential for big, arcing hook. AZO's Kelly Coffman has devised easy
box-drill suggestions.
If it does indeed use the same "twin pin" system as the little boy, the drill sheet you have should've worked.

Thanks Juggernaut, I ran across that as well after I posted this thread.
I've put holes in it once and just wanted to be more careful the second time around if I do end up trying to redrill it.
These balls actually have 3 "pins", two for the top of the core and one for the bottom of the core. I somehow managed to lay it out so 2 of those pins are on my track, making for a ball that flares less than a 3-piece ball.
