question about xfactor trifecta
« on: July 26, 2006, 05:15:52 AM »
I just picked one up on ebay. I am curious about the location of the cg to rad to pin.  rad is about 4.5 inches from pin but cg is to the left of both midway.
looks like this:

.........................pin



          cg  



 
........................rad  
           

         
is this normal?  on my vertigo all three are in a straight line

would this ball be considered a 2nd, and will the drilling be effected?

Well there is no problem, the ball with its core can have the CG in line or out of line, there is nothing wrong with the ball and with it like that you may be able to get lucky and drill it without a weight hole because the cg will tend to be closer to the middle of your grip.

If you are right handed it will be perfect. You can drill the cg in the middle of your grip and keep the pin and cg in the stacked position. Or drill it pin
over ring with the cg stacked straight under and you'll have the RAD in the strong position. If you are left handed you can't shift the RAD much at all with out having a ton of side weight. I hoep you are right handed.

Eh, RAD marker is only 4.5" from the pin? It should be more, 6.25"?
CG shift from the RAD/pin line can happen, as the CG is determined after the ball has been manufactured. It is because the core is shifted/tilted to one side, giving you more side weight into that direction. In fact, as Jonathan Ng mentions, you can even benefit from it because you can avoid an x-hole when you swing the RAD out and can keep the CG in the palm area ( I have an XXcel set up this way). If the CG shift is not more than 1" and not too close to the pin, just check side weights to keep the ball legal.
