no holes
« on: April 23, 2009, 07:45:54 AM »
Are you allowed to throw a ball without any holes?  Just a 2 handed throw?

2ndly if you are, are you allowed to wear gloves to have greater traction?

just a curiousity question and if anyone has tried this?

If you don't have a normal grip (two fingers, one thumb), the ball has to balance within one ounce in any direction.  Since there isn't a normal left/right side, finger/thumb, or top/bottom of the ball, they kinda err on the low side.  The least amount of allowable weight is one ounce of finger/thumb/side, that's the standard for balls drilled with "too few" holes.

One ounce in any direction.
