.009 is not insignificant. In fact, it's just the right side of which must be taken into account for drilling. It will have an effect.

From what I understand, most of recreational league bowlers aren't even good enough to take advantage of a mass bias.  We just are consistent enough.

That's   ... a different matter.
Technically the cutoff point for importance of MB is .008". Anything at or above that should be taken into account when drilling. That's the gospel according to St. Mo. Whatever else your opinion of him might be, you can't argue with him technically.

Oh yea, I completey agree and I have no arguement there.  I wasn't aware of the exact number, but that it was I had understood for markings also.

*I also see that I fat fingered the last thread,"it should have read that we just are NOT consistent enough"

I will also back the argurement that no matter the skill level of the bowler in question the MB can be used to fine tune a ball for said bowler.  That is what all the research that has been done the last decade plus supports, I get it.

But if my ball has been tuned to give me the best look and reaction bouncing off the 10 board but I can't hit it two out of five.  What good is it doing me?

None, that's why we have house balls!
