Title says it all! Have a local independent pro shop, drillings are simply wow i weighed one static balance was waaaayyyy off. Claimed its slide weight and i just dont lnow how to weigh it that way

Side weight is the imbalance between the left and right side of the grip center line after drilling. Per USBC standards, it can be no more than 1 oz. There is also an imbalance of 1 oz allowed between the finger hole side and the thumb hole side as measured from the center of the grip. The allowed imbalance between the top of the ball and the bottom is 3 oz to allow for the differences in weight removed from drilling.
PS this should probably be posted in another forum like the Misc or Drilling and Layouts. It will not show up on the front page drawing better informed replies. If you are wanting to know how to find this weight, you would get a better answer in the Drilling And Layouts forum.

Okay, no, never heard of 'slide weight'. Is it supposed to be something that is done illegally to doctor a bowling ball, like the pennies in the plug, to surpass the USBC static limits?
Sorry, I thought you had just misspelled side weight.
