Question
i bought a new virtual gravity ball (spent way too much...anyway the shop person drilled it and then said he needed to drill an extra hole because it was not conforming. i was surprised and hesitated. he said this was not unusual. is this true? i feel that i spent $200 on defective ball.

Answer
Mark,
The balance requirements for bowling balls occasionally require a weight hole to augment ball reaction or satisfy USBC limitations.

It is not unusual. How does the ball work?

It sounds like you bought a lot of ball. What do you average? and what where you looking for?

Thanks for the question.
