BigMike, some might consider me a heretic when it comes to rolling across the holes. I don't think it matters significantly and have never worried about it. If you do the math and take the amount of distance clipping a hole vs. the total ball covered in each revolution it is a small to tiny fraction. Three wrist operations and 25 years ago I was a very high tracker who often clipped fingers and thumb with ball drilled on the label and I just never worried about it because I never saw it having a big impact on my ball reaction.
Would like to see BTM or someone do a real study on this issue. Can't recall every seeing anything like this.
