    Default Fill out layout sheet based on ball (without proper tools)

    Hey all, i was wondering if it was possible to fill out the layout sheet using one of my balls but without the proper layout tools used by a proshop

    if not, do you know anywhere to get the tools cheaply? i don't need the top of the line $90 Pro-Sect.

    Thanks in advance!

    No,unless you have a layout sheet that has all your stats on it. The pro shop usually fills it out when they fit you for a ball or they get measurements from an exsiting ball.

    that's what i'm trying to do, i would like to be able to fill out the sheet based on the layout on my ball, i was thinking that i could do most of it with a tape measure, but want to insure in is completely accurate. I guess doing it next time im at the pro shop would be the best option....

    Yes you will need the proper tools if you want to lay out
    your drilling specs. You can not get the proper pitches on
    your fingers and thumb with a tape measure yes you might
    get the span close but not the correct pitches.

    The best thing I can recommend is the next time you're at
    the Pro shop is to ask for a copy of you drilling specs and
    if they don't want to give you a copy then I'd have to say
    to just find yourself a new Pro shop to deal with.

    With a little creative thinking, and math skills, you can measure pitches with a tape measure.

    i can think of the math to do this, however i would not be confident enough to get a ball drilled off my measurements.
