Title: Tolerance in span length
Post by: BeerLeague on February 13, 2019, 07:10:56 AM: Do you expect all your equipment to be exact cut to cut or can your game tolerate some deviation .... say 1/16 to 1/8 inch?

My PSO scribes my equipment often (my request) so there's no hiding hitting the lines dead on or not.

I could stand having a span a little short but long would be unacceptable.

We drilled for a guy who was tour and won a major. He could feel 1/64.

Iâ€™ve had a few balls that felt off over the years, and I shy away from using them. I just donâ€™t repeat shots as well, then it also becomes a mental thing. I think that finger grips can vary slightly, even though theyâ€™re marked for same sizeing. If the grips sizes are off or compression of the grips going in hole are big, small, that could change span, feel slightly. At least it does for my sensitive feel. I have friends that can pick up another persons ball, totally different specs than their own equipment and throw it with no problem. Geuss it depends on the individual.
