Dode Scale

Post by poloidrogo »

Im started drilling my bowling balls at home and now I got an used AMF dode scale, but not sure how to use it, is there a video or a page on internet to get some information about it.


Thanks much

The link below takes you to the procedure in the Jayhawk Tips section for weighting a ball for imbalance. The procedure is correct, but the static weight limits are out of date. I hope you didn't pay a lot for your dodo scale, after the new 3 oz limits come in effect in August it will be difficult to make a ball illegal on static weight. -- JohnP
