Question
my ball is hooking earlier than i thought, i want it to skid a little more so that i could hit pocket consistently, someone said drill a 4th hole to increase skid, how am i going to do that, thanks

Answer
Drilling a hole to change the balls reaction is way to permanent if you don't know if it will work or how much.Try some car wax(turtle wax).Give the ball one coat then try it. Then give it 2 coats.This will give you a taste of a straighter thru the heads shot.If you like the reaction, you can get your Pro Shop to give the ball a finer sanding job to shine it up a bit.There are many wet/dry sandpaper grits 400,500,600,800,1000,1200,1500,2000,2500 up to Finesse it 30,000 shine.If your ball is very dull, it is probably duller than 800. So the car wax will give you back around 200-300 say from 600 up to 800.This will let you know where to start with the sand paper.I DO THIS WITH ALL MY EQUIPMENT.I USE 3 DIFFERENT GRITS SPREAD APART TO SEE WHAT ONE WORKS THE BEST FOR ME WITH THAT ONE BALL.THIS CUSTOMIZES IT TO FIT EXACTLY TO MY GAME.
 This way you can always change the surface to suite the shot you want/need to play.YOU DON'T LOOSE THE WEIGHT WITH THE EXTRA HOLE & YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE THE SURFACE back.
