Re: Ball hard spot
The heavy spot does throw off the center of gravity(COG). So if you are thinking of the "rifling" the barrel of the shooter to give the ball spin so it would stablize, be aware that with COG not exactly the center of the ball, the spin might actually cause it to swirve all over the place instead of going straight.
