I'm going to experiment with going from 14# to 15#. My favorite ball of all time is my TKO Contender (vintage, I know, but still a killer)...it is by far my most reliable piece. Well, I was recently able to find a NIB 15#...the only problem is that it has like a 1/2" pin. My 14# has about a 2 1/2" pin. My question is this...can the 15# be drilled to react exactly the same(or at least EXTREMELY similar) to the 14#? All I know about pin lengths is that shorter pins roll sooner. I'm a medium rev tweener, 15-16 mph, PAP 4 3/8, 1/2" up, 16 degree tilt. I know very little about ball layouts so here is the 14#...

I know it looks polished in the picture. It's actually at 600 grit. It was in desperate need of a cleaning when that pic was taken.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Can you get it close...yes...will it be exact, never. Even 2 balls drilled at the same time will be different. A different top will slightly effect that ball, a small difference on the layout can effect the ball, etc. There are so many variables that can effect the ball, its amazing!
