Question
what's the purpose of the balance hole in drilling layouts, i have a ball drilled with balance hole, if that balance hole was not there what would happen? thanks
IN LEVERAGE WEIGHT, YOU PUT THE LABEL 1/2 WAY BETWEEN YOUR GRIP LINE TO YYOUR AXIS POINT FOR MAXIMUM IMBALLANCE.AS ALL THE TOP WEIGHT ARE DIFFERENT, YOU GET DIFFERENT SIDE WEIGHTS. IF THE SIDE WEIGHT IS OVER ONE OZ. ,YOU NEED TO DRILL A HOLE TO LESSEN THE WEIGHT TO BRING IT BACK TO ONE OZ. OR LESS TO BE LEGAL.THIS IS FOR A NEW BALL DRILLING.
THE OTHER REASON IS IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE A CURRENT WEIGHT IN AN EXISTING BALL,YOU CAN DRILL AN AXIS HOLE TO CHANGE THE EXISTING WEIGHTS FOR A DIFFERENT REACTION.
