Ball weight perfection
1. Do the pro’s have special batches of balanced balls made for them?

The Reason I ask:
I was using what I thought was the best ball available, the PRO V1 for quite a while before moving on to the new TaylorMade Burner TP’s. I have this centrifugal spinner that a ball sits on and when spinning puts the excess weight of the ball to the outside and thus it’s marked with a pen to give a line all way round the ball supposedly where the excess weight is. The ball is teed up accordingly. I believe this spinner to be accurate as some balls I have put onto the spinner wobble so much that they just fly off – this tells me that the weight is heavily to one side and not evenly distributed! This I believe would cause the ball to spin in a way that slicing or hooks would occur (?)!.

2. Is this possible and has anyone else found the same thing?

Pro V1 - Maxfli Noodle - TaylorMade Burner are the balls I've found to be more consistantly evenly balanced. I use the TaylorMade Burner TP!

I find that cheaper balls other than the Noodle are way out of whack but I must add that it goes in batches - sometimes a box will only have 2 or 3 bad ones and sometimes up to 5 or even 6 (cheaper balls) as was the case with a box of optima I was given. Some balls are really uneven and wobble off the seat as the rotational speed increases. With the balls that stay on the seat, I mark the sweet spot and spin them again and they always end up with the weight back where the ball was marked - only once did I find a perfectly balance ball but lost it in the water third hit!

The unit I use is Check-Go, a google search will bring it up.
