Question
Right now i have a Terminato and Yeah Baby with the pin under the ring finger and twisted out to the right, so that the ball will rev on its own.  I have been thinking of late, i rev wth ball naturally, problem medium rev's, will my reving the ball kill the balls natural need to rev on its own do to the drill pattern.  I am considering plugging the yeah baby and putting in a leverage stack.

Answer
There will not be a big difference in ball reaction that will come from the changing of the layout.  The ball plug is not the same density as the material that was taken out of the ball when it was drilled and that will limit the affects of the changes.  Also, drilling the ball stacked leverage will make the ball hook sooner than it is now.  You could accomplish the same reaction by sanding the ball.

Good luck,
Chip
