Drilling for an Old Columbia Vector
« on: February 11, 2004, 09:10:33 PM »
Just wonder if anyone has any knowledge of how to drill up this ball, other than standard over the label.  I haven't gotten the balls in yet, but I understand that they don't have a PIN marking.  Any help would be apprechiated.

Thanks

Are you talking about the Vector One or the Vector Two.  Seems to me the Vector One was black urethane while the Vector Two was sort of a navy urethane.  Both used sort of a modified pancake core, with the block on the One being a little lower than traditional pancakes and the Two being even closer to the center of the ball.  

I never had the Two, but I still have a One drilled basically straight label that will work on a down and in shot with decent carry.

There's a special lay-out for the Vector 2 called "track weight".  If I recall it correctly, drill out the CG using 1 1/4 drill bit, 3 inches deep.  If you're RH, place your thumbhole at the arrow tip of Vector 2 engraving. For LH, place the ring finger on the arrow tip.
