Powder Balancing

[pattypape]

Yep, Randy, (dozen balls here)(Tiger Woods Specials)

We have six gulf balls in each steer tire, Found them when we had a
leaky valve stem replaced. The previous owner had a tire guy, that
believed, this was the best way to balance. Our coach handles
fine, goes straight and does not vibrate. Some have said that golf
balls could damage the inside of the tire, but they do not clog the
valves. I am happy for now, but am confused about the best method
for balancing. We will purchase tires latter this year. (need to
make a decision)

years.there is no clumping in this jar..is there different types of
equal? smooth or clumpy? also,i understand that the beads will rust
and stick together if your coach sits for a while.is that true?
damn,i guess the golf balls were the right thing to use after all.
any insight on this matter ? randydupree93wb
