Andrew, in this case you are wrong. Big difference between 1 oz side and 3 oz effective side. Couple of my posts in the MOhole thread:
"This is how I have been explainhg the effect to my customers, so if it's wrong, I'd like to know.
Track flare moves the high topweight towards the PAP, effectively giving the ball 2+ ounces of positive side weight. For a righty, this causes the ball to precess anticlockwise, delaying the roll and maintaining axis rotation longer. Once the ball is rolling, it acts like a lawn bowl and keeps 'hooking' in the roll phase, increasing the entry angle. Simple, or simplistic?
Edit - the crux hole has exactly the same effect on the ball dynamics except it generates bottom weight, making the ball precess the wrong way."
"Triplicate - the only difference between the Motion hole and the crux hole is the effect on statics the position of the hole has. The Motion hole is pretty much opposite the centre of the grip, the crux is in the grip centre - the holes are at opposite ends of the same axis and will thus have exactly the same effect on the dynamics of the ball. The increased topweight doesn't have to line up with the axis to be effective, as long as it is on the positive side of the ball it will drive the precession of the axis.
In terms of the 'increase in gyroscopic inertia' - the gyroscopic inertia is determined by the direction and size of the angular momentum vector of the ball, it will be the same for both drills. If you draw a force diagram at the instant of contact with the pins, assuming nonzero tilt, the pin(s) exerts a force on the ball which can be resolved into two vectors - one through the axis of rotation, and one at 90* to the rotation axis. The one through the centre of the axis can't affect the rotational axis, and will cause 'mechanical' deflection for want of a better word, while the force at 90* will cause the axis to precess anticlockwise, straightening up the ball path. The precession caused by high positive side weight is opposite to and thus counters this 'precessive deflection'."
Note that a 'crux' hole is placed in the centre of the grip to increase the asymmetry of the ball, basically directly opposite where the MOtion and Voodoo holes are placed. The difference in roll is directly attributable to the statics. The Brunswick video is meant to show the difference between positive and negative side weights, I have commented on it before. Once the ball flares both cg locations end up on the positive side of the ball - it's a meaningless comparison by someone who had no idea how to properly run the test.
