Question
I recently got a morich levreg and out of the back the heaviest spot of the ball was about 1 in from the mass bias and ended up the the thumb hole would make the top weight lighter than the bottom so what suggestions do you have about drilling and if at all it can be drilled

Answer
If you are right handed and place the CG and mass bias to the right of the thumb hole, you can drill an extra hole below and to the right of the thumb hole.  That will bring the ball back to specs.  You can also angle the extra hole down towards the bottom of the ball and that will lessen the bottom weight.

You can alter the surface to create the length the ball provides.

Good luck,
Chip
