Going with Layout #1 will put the CG in or above my middle finger...may or may not be a problem
I will be double Checking the weights of course before Drilling so it may not be an issue after all but what have you guys done when you ran into this with your No Mercy's
Any Suggestions on what to do or another layout?

Just remember, negative weight in a No Mercy is a good thing.

After looking at the pic, I would suggest having someone check to make sure the CG is not mis marked. If it's not then get it replaced or use an x-hole on the nagative side.
If your a right handed bowler this may be a problem if your looking to put the HART in the aggressive position (left of thumb).

It does matter because he can't have over 1oz of negative. That's why he may need to drill the middle finger deep or use an X-hole to get the HART left of the thumb.

X-hole's, drilling the fingers to china, drilling the thumb to china, doing whatever. His pro shop guy should know how to fix it.

Except on a NM. Read the drilling #1. How you gonna keep the CG within 1" of the CofG, have that Hart in the track, and have a 4.5+" pin to PAP???
Have you drilled or thrown the NM? CGMADDAALOT.

WOW, I don't know if I have ever seen one with the HART that far over by the Hammer logo.
Where did you purchase this ball?
I actually am tempted to say that possibly the HART was mismarked and not the CG. You would have to do some measuring, weighing, and use a determinator to find out.
OR, you could just return it to your local pro shop where you purchased it and exchange it. They would be able to return it to the distributor.

BOWL N.C. TOUGH SHOTS TOUR
Agreed...and i agree with everything posted above, and like i said in my first post i will be double checking the weights and it may not be an issue after all...i could very easily go with one of the smooth arc layouts to avoid this issue all together, but i have seen a few locally like that and im not looking for that type of reaction SO looks like we may be drilling the middle finger to China!
I have also seen weight holes just above the middle finger so we could do something like that...my ball flares away from my fingers pretty good (PAP is 3/4 UP) so it could work as long as it doesnt alter my track...
I won the ball in ALLSTARJOE's Raffle so for 15 bucks i can't complain..."winners" cant be choosers right

Thats a good idea...we will throw it on the determinator to find its "happy spot" and we can go from there...thanks Jason!

Worse comes to worse, contact Hammer and tell them what you have.
You can send them that one and get a good one. I think a few people have
done this.

Place the PIN above your RING finger and turn the ball so the HART is about 2" left of thumb hole. The will have neg. side weight but that won't matter much.
negative side weight will matter if it's more than 1 oz... and i'm sure there would be with 3 oz of top weight...where would you put a weight hole on that side of the ball?
contacting hammer is probably your best bet. assuming that everything is marked correctly anyway...

Nothing wrong with the ball if the pro shop has any clue. Besides maybe the person purchased the ball from the internet, if he had purchase the ball from a pro shop they would not give him a ball like the one he has.

Jonathan Ng, using the determinator will not show you the position of the HART. Determinator will mark a spot on the other side of the ball.

FYI i did go to purchase one from my pro shop and he had the same thing come in with the one he got cg swung out way to the left...he offered to get another in but i decided to drill up a NV instead...i get great service from my pro shop, and YES he has a clue!
I did not "purchase" this ball online, i won it in one of Joe's raffles, nowhere in this post did i complain about it...i was just asking for opinions and looking for instances where this has happened before
THIS PERSON knows anything coming from the internet is a gamble...
THIS PERSON is also locking this topic as he has found the answers he is looking for, and wants this to go NO further...
