Title: purpose of a weight hole
Post by: kc571 on January 17, 2007, 02:48:21 AM

Hi,

Can someone explain the purpose of a weight hole?  I always thought it was to make a ball "legal", but have since heard other wise.

thx.

two purposes, one is to bring the ball back to legal static weights, the other is to fine tune the reaction.  Depending on size and location, you can increase/decrease flare, get the ball to start up a little sooner/later, etc.

To see how an x-hole can affect reaction, see Nick's vid at http://www.brunsnick.com/bowling_ball_x_hole_video.html
