Scroll down and look at the picture where it shows the CG way left of the PIN-MB line!

How would you drill this ball?

I must agree!!


So you are saying that the way I would have it drilled for a righty isn't feasible or there are other options?

Umm to me, the first thought would be pin above middle finger, MB somewhere near VAL and let the cg fall were it may (guessing somewhere in the palm area).  For me, this would be around a 6" to 6 1/4" pin, 3" MB... I think it would givea very nice controlled type of reaction.

Using the dual angle layout method...

30*x4.5"x30*

Can someone say asymmetric flip!

OK, I'll ask. What would happen if you turned it 180 with pin down and mb up, drilled for left handed????

You might have to get a little creative with the ball, but it's not impossible to drill.

And I think it would turn out a little something like this...http://www.putfile.com/pic/7812267

Shouldn't be to much of a problem if your right handed. You could just kick the mass bias out to or past your val which might put the cg in more of a central location to your span. What type of reaction are you looking out of the ball?

To me, it's actually easier to drill a ball like this for a righty than one with the cg inline.  The Cell is a rare ball, IMO, that works so well without a weight hole that I think you should try to avoid one if at all possible.  This ball makes it easier to do that with a strong layout.  BTW, we have drilled probably 20 or more Cells, and have probably a dozen still in the shop, and the VAST majority look similar to this one.  I don't remember hearing any complaints to this point in time.

Should not be problem drilling for either righty or lefty. Nothing wrong with being a little creative
