MOtion hole in times up solid
« on: August 19, 2013, 10:35:07 AM »
Just picked up a times up solid on buddies for 34.95 will this ball be a good candidate for a MOtion hole? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just curious, what is your PAP?

It is imperative that you throw the ball before you drill the weight hole.  Mark the position of the hole with tape, throw it a few times, and ensure that you do not track over the weight hole before you drill it.

Unsure of pap. My driller has my specs. It all confuses me. Our plan was to throw it Monday for league and see how I like it without the home and add if need be. Not sure i will need it being that I shoot in the easiest house in MN

Ask your driller to check the cg location and the top weight.  It's unusual to see a ball with that much top weight, it may be lower.  --  JohnP

If you want a MOtion hole layout, the ideal top weight is 2.1 to 2.7 ounces.

 Something to remember. After drilling is completed, you are only allowed to have a maximum of 3oz of topweight left in the ball.

 If the ball starts out with 4 1/2oz, and you drill out 2-2 1/2oz with the finger and thumb holes, that is going to leave you with 2-2 1/2oz topweight already in the ball, and this will all but eliminate the ability to drill the motion hole and have the ball remain "legal".

 Drilling the finger and thumb holes deeper to eliminate more topweight MIGHT be effective, but by Mo's theories, drilling the holes deeper may have undesirable effects that would not be "fixable" by the addition of the motion hole.

 Would have been better if the ball didn't have so much topweight to begin with, especially if you are wanting to drill a motion hole ball.

Go to the Radical website and check out the drill sheets. You need to drill the thumb hole deep. At least 3 and 1/2 inch.

Thanks for the input guys. After further thought I am more than likely not going to use the MOtion hole. New guy their isn't a drill sheet on the web. What kind of layout would you recommend for this piece? I play fairly straight up the boards and don't have a ton of hand. Want the ball to be aggressive yet controllable.

Mo's recommendation for specs is 2.2 - 2.7 oz top weight and 3" pin out.  --  JohnP

The motion hole is on the website. I never suggest drillings since I have never seen you bowl or know what you are bowling on. Visit a reputable pro shop for that info
