Extra holes are used to fine tune reaction of a bowling ball.<br /><br />
 
  
*Extra holes are optional when considering a layout.
+
A hole in the ball that is not used for gripping purposes and is not considered a vent hole.
*A maximum of 1 extra hole is allowed per ball
 
*Maximum diameter is 1 1/4" including [[bevel]]
 
*No limit to extra hole depth
 
*Small extra holes drilled deep have more of an effect on ball reaction than large shallow extra holes. This is due to the small deep hole taking out some of the [[core]] of the ball, this causing a change in [[differential]] and [[radius of gyration]].
 
 
 
Extra holes can fine tune a reaction based on the distance from positive axis point, [[midline]] and [[vertical axis line]] (VAL). Extra holes are usually placed on a line through the bowier's [[positive axis point]], horizontally that reference line is the midline, vertically that reference line is the [[vertial axis line]]. The effect of the extra hole is enhanced when placed on these reference lines. See figure 1 for details regarding the location of PAP, VAL and [[Midline]].
