If you take a ball and put it in the barrel, it should not just roll through.  If it 
does, the barrel is too big for the ball.  If you put a ball in the barrel and you 
can't blow it through, it it too big for the barrel.  You shoul dbe able to place a 
ball in the barrel and blow it through with just a little blowing.  If you can do 
this, you have balls that fit the diameter of the barrels for best accuracy.  Too 
lose, not as accurate, too tight, more broken balls.

Balls are .68 diameter, but barrels range from .65 to .69.  If you use a Flatline 
barrel, don't do the test because Flatlines are large and put reverse spin on the 
ball.  Many Flatlines are picky about balls so you should buy fresh balls of good 
quality.  Our Flatlines and Spider/CP/Razor barrels all seem to like most any PB 
range balls or Walmart Game Face Scortch balls.

Hope this helps,

JB
