purpose of a weight hole
« on: January 17, 2007, 02:47:47 AM »
Hi,

Can someone explain the purpose of a weight hole?  I always thought it was to make a ball "legal", but have since heard other wise.

thx.

check the video on

Brunsnick.com

he explains pretty well what the xhole can affect to the reaction of the ball
--------------------
When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment

When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one

This guy on youtube posts videos of the PBA
for ppl who dont watch TV or want to save the matches this will be great!

A weight hole's purpose is two-fold...it is used to balance the ball statically and to alter the overall reaction of the bowling ball.
