Target zone drilling
« on: July 13, 2005, 03:11:39 PM »
Hey what's up, gotta simple question.

Just want to know how should I drill a Target Zone (plastic ball) for it to do absolutely nothing, just to make it go as straight as posible, it is made to go straight, but I know the drilling can help a little.

Any help is appreciated

Thanx

probably just put the pin in the palm. Or do something random and put the pin on the opposite side of the ball, just to be odd. o_O lol

Laugh, but I had a WD drilled pin 180 from center grip. That puppy would hold a line like I've never seen. My only trouble with it, I could not throw a straight line, at the time, to save my life. It worked for me, never had another one drilled that way, but it worked, kinda'.

For a plastic ball with a pancake core layout doesn't make much difference.  I'd put the cg close to the grip center and the pin at least 1" away from any of the holes.  --  JohnP

I flipped one over for a friend, so that the vis-a-ball logo would spin, and thus had the pin 180 degrees from grip center.  The ball had too much bottom weight in it.  I think that they are generally set up with extra weight near the pin, so that the finger/thumb drillings bring it back to 0 imbalance.  Just something to be aware of.

Pins on 3-piece balls are worthless and their position means nothing.

Drill over the label, no side weight, add finger weight if you like.
