Question
i have seen a deep hole drilled in the ball, is this to get more cruve or to make the ball lighter. i have 14.6 ball. can i get move cruve and make it lighter. i am 70 and any help would be appr. clare
If the ball is already drilled, adding the extra hole will not make much difference in the ball reation. You may be able to create an earlier roll or a later roll by adding a hole. However, you wont be able to take out more than 1 or 2 ounces. Have your local pro shop take a look at it.
Good luck,
Chip
