Just bought MM and HB from DukeHarding, need help again
« on: October 18, 2006, 04:29:35 PM »
Hey all, remember I was inquiring about a Heat Blast? Well, I finally found a good deal on one from DukeHarding and I got a Mean Machine to go along with it. Supposedly the span is very close to my own (the balls are lefty, 4 1/4 to both fingers while my span is 4 1/4 to middle and almost 4 1/2 to ring)

Anyways, the Heat Blast he is sending me is a 5x4ish drill with the Pin over bridge and cg kicked out about an inch.

I think that should help when my 4x2 Equation starts up too early.

My concern is the Mean Machine. From the pictures I had, it looked like it was drilled with pin under ring and MB kicked out to 45*.

I'm probably going to plug it up as I was advised by AllStar-Joe that the layout on that ball is very early rolly and will likely burn up as I don't have much speed. How would you guys drill it to make it versatile enough for Med to Heavy?

before you plug it up, why not shine it up a little. mine is slightly polished and still very strong!

1) Polish it
2) Fool with different grits, abralon pads, etc.
