Question from Larrt:
Q – Does having a ball plugged and redrilled effect how the ball will react much?
A – This is a tricky question. Pending hole size and depth it very well could alter the reaction slightly. If the holes go deep enough they can remove parts of the core, affectively changing the overall shape of the weightblock. Now this will not completely change the reaction from one end of the spectrum to the other, but it can alter it slightly. The best thing to do with a plugged ball is use a determinator to locate the bowling balls PSA (preferred spin axis) and make sure you locate the current Center of Gravity. The CG placement is just to make sure the ball is legal by USBC standards. Once you locate the PSA, you can use that point and the hanger Pin to lay the ball out for you. Another thing to remember is surface prep. Make sure you use the recommended method to finish the ball back to out of box surface. Otherwise the ball will not perform the way it once did.
