Same rules apply on drilling a motion hole.
Remember the Fix is both symmetrical and asymmetrical so you can drill it with a motion hole and not have to worry about the placement. It is totally new technology so all of the previous rules may not apply to the Shapeshifter core.
Yes I know, but I saw that the motion hole drilling was under the asymmetric layouts and it looks like the pin placement differs a bit from the normal symmetric motion hole layout. I'm particularly interested in that layout because I'm now fairly high track and I've loved the motion hole on every ball I've put it on - the most recent being the Ridiculous Pearl
it was my impression when the motion hole came out that the benefit was to make a symmetric behave more asymetrically. the layout would raise the RG and the intermediate diff causing more length and shorter hook zone. so the motion hole layout on the assymetric side of the drill sheet would make sense
Yes, that is true. It is just that Mo stopped recommending using motion hole on asymmetric balls. This drilling is now used on the ball in "asymmetric mode", and the pin placement differs a little from the symmetric layout. My guess is that this ball was designed/tested so motion hole would work.
Previously, I seem to recall the recommendation of placing the hole 11" from the pin on asymmetrics instead of the 10" recommendation on symmetrics. That is why I asked about the hole placement. Nothing is mentioned in the Fix's motion hole layout about the actual hole, where the symmetric ball drilling sheets have everything explained.
I know Phil posted that I can drill it the same as my Ridiculous Pearl, but I will probably follow the drill sheet and go 85 x 3 3/4" x 30 with the pin placement. And unless I hear otherwise before it is drilled, I'll have the hole placed 10" from wherever the pin ends up - adjusted for track flare, if needed. It may end up that the pin is pretty close to the ridiculous pearl anyway. I now use the 5" and over layout. I'm guessing the layout d will put the pin in a similar spot, but maybe more pin up.
Looking forward to this ball with motion hole. Ridiculous Pearl was amazing last night during league -first time I used it for all 3 games. I usually pull it out later on, if at all. Based on the video, the Fix looks just as angular with an asymmetric layout. Should be great 1-2 on heavier oil.
