OK to drill into LevRG pin?
« on: March 05, 2010, 12:13:41 PM »
First Morich ball. I notice the pin looks different: pretty big and "appears" to be part of the coverstock?

I really want to try a drilling that would take out half of the pin. Please advise.

I just want to see if anyone had tried drilling out "half" of the pin in this particular ball. I can see the pin in other balls are "seperate" from the coverstock but not this one.........

If you are going to drill into or around the pin, I would suggest drilling it out completely, not just partially. It will not effect the reaction but will help minimize caracking.

OK, my driller said I could "try" it. If there's a real pin then it would be about 1/4 inch below the surface.

When he was drilling it the pin( yes, there's one in it) cracked and messed up the finger hole on the inside. I had him left the insert out and used epoxy glue to patch the hole.

Tomorrow I'll smooth it out and install the insert. It'll look perfect on the outside and nobody will know there's this "operation". Just hope it won't have problem down the road( or lane ).
