Drilling a HYDE- Need some practical help
« on: September 05, 2005, 07:20:36 AM »
I've had this ball in the shop a while now, but I think I'm the only one intriuged by it, so I'm gonna drill it up for me.

 I've read all the reviews on it, and it seems to be a very versatile piece that works well for quite a few. Very few negative remarks about this ball.

 Here's the deal. I have a slower ball speed and an aggressive hand release, so I have to watch out. Lots of balls tend to roll early on me.

  I was thinking about polishing this up at about 2000 and using a 2 X 2 pattern or something along those lines. What do you guys think?

I have had very good results with this ball. I think it is one of the best balls ever released by Columbia! Personally,I think 2x2 might start way too early .I think you might be happier with something like 4x4 or 41/2x4.No weight hole for you.I use 2000 grit Abralon on mine and it gets decent length on medium conditions.Pin under bridge works best for me.
