Title: Getting back to the Invasion
Post by: Nicanor on March 12, 2010, 12:36:17 AM

So, I plugged and re-drilled the Invasion.  The drilling didn''t change a whole lot.  The pin use to be in the ring finger, now it is about 1 inch above the ring finger.  The MB is kicked a little more rignt and the coverstock was taken to 2000 Ablaron.  This would be about 4 1/2 X 4 with a 2 inch buffer.

I can''t say that I got great reaction, but the reaction I recieved was considerable better then the reaction I was getting on the first drilling.  I only have 4 games on the new drilling, so I still have some work to do, but I can see that I''ll have a better chance of using this ball in this configuration.

I actually drilled a Reign the same way to see if I can have a 1-2 combination.

I thought I heard that if you drill a pin out, it will always calm down the reaction, even if it is plugged and redrilled... True?

I think it depends on how deep you drill the ring finger.  If you drill a deep ring finger and the hole is drilled into the top of the weightblock, it can change the balls reaction.

Agreed... if you take out alot of the core you are shortening the core and therefore lower the differential and flare potential..
if you have only take out coverstock and filler material the plug is pretty close in density to that so it shouldn't make much difference.
