I kinda geeked out watching Mo Pinel's video's about the new rules, balls, the effect of hole locations and such. The part missing for me to put all of his info together is my personal specs and delivery type - I think that I understand most of the theory. Is there any place to get diagrams of the various oil patterns?
I do figure that I'm basically starting over since I'm a high mileage 54 year old, stiff, fat former athlete. At this point I'm just hoping to find my Columbia White dot to use for a spare ball and just throw it a little to loosen everything up a bit. A coworker give me a used Ebonite Sidewinder. It "may" work to start out.... or may not be worth it. It's been plugged twice and will need plugged and drilled again for me and I'm concerned about how the plugs affect the balance and performance. Plug and drill will probably cost me $60 to get done. The thing I'm worried about is how it was already drilled and plugged. Almost looks like it was done once lefty and twice righty. I'll see if I can post a picture of it. I dunno how much ahead I would be money wise if I get a new ball and have to plug and drill it a couple times as my technique redevelops vs just messing with this one.
