    ....if it were a 117A or close to that , it may just do...I was keen to go with the golf ball inner solution but it seems the waiting list for the top notch balls is ridiculously long,,,the only other option for high tech balls is on the black market and honestly, Im not keen on handling black balls...just waiting on a call from a kawakoozi boffin...let yer know...

    It is commonly known that from time to time manufacturers stumble across the perfect mix and a batch is produced that is superior to anything else on the market.
    When this happens the manufacturing mafia come knocking and the recipe is 'improved' to bring things back in line.
    Think Castrol R. The old stuff was magical.

    Anyway, this has happened with golf balls. A previous poster has been wise enough to preserve three and knows their worth. But. There is an untapped resourse.
    Golf courses around the world have water hazards which are full of these old wonders. Naturally because they were so much better a light putt sent them streaking across the green and into the water - thereby driving up sales.

    SO time to plan an assult on your local course. It will be cold. The older better balls will be down in the sludge and muck. It will be dangerous. You will need to dress in foolish clothing to blend in.

    I however wish to offer the services of faithful Scuba Hound. Especially trained to sniff super balls even under water.
    He costs 4 steaks and hour and my commision of a large bottle of Jack Daniels.
    Please take a number and stand in line.

    Cos I'm pretty sure that would be the coolest thing ever.
    I been thinkin' about this question. In my opinion, they power bands wouldn't accumulate to make a six stroke. More than likely they would average - so you'd have a THREE STROKE! Imagine what THAT would sound like...

    I've just failed my WOF , he measured 1.23 jigawatts on the powerband and states the legal limit is 1.21 (although he measured this inside the workshop which may have affected it), I'm told it's too peaky, and can probably get a wider, flatter one. Has anyone got a spare I can borrow, or should I stuff some steelo pads down there?

    Maybe I'm better off going somewhere else for the test?

    Chaos rider was build a 3 stroke........................

    well he was converting Hyosung 250 to be a competitive 2 stroke 250GP bike.........................

    if one cylinder was converted would it be a 3 stroke?

    Soooo, if I put in say a mvx 250 powerband, and a rgv one and a H2 one, would that make a nice progressive band with a monster top end?

    Slip a potato into your underwear while he is performing the test.

    My mates cousin has a friend who goes out with this girl whose brother works with a guy who was talking to this bloke in the pub and his missus' bridesmaids boyfriend did this and it totally works.

    After the test take it out or else you will look like it really does have too much power

    ....pretty cool bit of thought gone in there ,BUT....if we are to lead the world in this technology, we need to sort out a system for balancing the balls to each specific POWERBAND requirement ...whether the manufacturers of the high end golf balls would agree to this stringency in their approach to regulating ball inspections in the workplace and ensuring a completely uniform ball left the assembly line is doubtful....it will in the end be left to the individual to decide upon which manufacturer they choose to go with....in the end the golf ball manufacturers tussle for track supremacy will probably end up with MotoGP being dominated by very small capacity TWO STROKES and a demise of the DUCATI marque as a serious bike manufacturer...
