Finding exact CG location?
« on: March 04, 2008, 08:38:51 AM »
Just wondering what you do to find the CG on a ball, just to make sure it is marked correct.

I think I know, but want to find out for sure from you guys. Can it be done at home?

There might be other ways, but they all involve pro shop equipment.

well I always knew there was more advanced ways such as that. BUt I had heard and maybe seen someone let the ball roll on a smooth level surface and it ends up on the CG down, is that a way you can do it?

You can find your PAP without fancy tools, but I don't know of an easy way to find the CG.
