Multiple ball plugging
« on: October 21, 2003, 07:17:02 AM »
I know this topic was covered some what in another topic, but how much weight difference is there when you plug holes and redrill out new ones?

Let's say I have a ball that's on it's third drill, would this affect the reaction at all?  (core is less dense with the plugs?)

I believe the plug material is close enough in density to what is being removed that it makes little difference even on a third plugging.

If anything I believe the plug material might be denser than some of the holes drilled on these multi-piece balls that have some filler between the cover and the shell. Given that scenario it could raise the RG slightly on a large RG ball. But the coverstock and core would be much bigger factors.

The biggest issue at this point becomes in where do you drill the ball where it doesn’t roll over any plugs or drilling halfway into a plugged hole that could breakout later.

OK great, thanks for the info, the plugs are nowhere near my track, they are more towards the centerline/axis portion of the ball.
