Drilling a zero gravity
« on: February 16, 2014, 08:48:14 AM »
It's an asymetrical with such a low int diff, should I actually treat it like a symetrical ball when I drill it? With it being a high rg ball and me having higher tilt ,I'm really concerned about drilling this one correctly.

16 mph off hand
26 tilt
45-60 rotation
350 revs

While it's low, .010", it is not insignificant. (Mo originally said that when the PSA strength is .008" or greater, you should take the PSA into consideration.) Also, with many common drillings, the differential and the PSA strength will increase, PLUS P3 and P4 weight holes will also increase both. If I were you, I'd make the driller takes the PSA into consideration.

Me, too. Looks like we get another week to think about it. The release date just got moved back to 3/4 just like I expected.

Storm has sent us one. I haven't checked to see if it is drilled as I'm training for a job. I would treat is as an Asym. The ball is designed to be more THS usable and not blow apart in the heads like most of their recent releases that dug in before the arrows. You should be able to drill it stronger with longer pin to PAP layouts.

It's a cover dominant ball so it's going to read the back of the pattern harder.

I did post here or at BC that my driller drilled one 6 weeks ago. He went with a 2" pin to PAP with the PSA stacked but it still moved to the thumb post drill when we put it on the Determinator.

I'd treat it as a symmetrical since the int diff is so low anyway. Large balance holes will affect the PSA so you can tweak with size and location post drill.

I'm sure you'll want to burn some tilt but remember symmetricals lose tilt sooner than asymmetricals anyway. So whether we treat this symmetrical or as a true lower diff asym it's still going to lose your tilt for you faster than the high end asyms.

I drilled mine like a regular asymm. 45x5x40 pin over ring mb kicked about 2 inches and the ball is a beast, cover probably 2-4 boards less than my hyper cell but comes of the spot a lot more arcing than the hyper and for me is more versatile.

Reviving an old thread.. I have a zero gravity that sits at home alllll the time...yall have my interest peaked in putting an x hole somewhere in between p3 and p4 ...any input?
