I was thinking of hitting it lightly with sandpaper real quick, it when I went to throw yesterday. It didn't really seem to affect it to much. So I might just leave it like that. I pulled out my reptile digital scale the other day, but it seems to have died, I am in the middle of getting it replaced. Add o I haven't been able to measure out the clay yet unfortunately.

Currently wondering if a mould with built in dimples, would make a dimpled glande.

I can't see why it wouldn't.
Either directly, or roll a smooth one with standard mould and do one pass through a dimpled one of the same size to create a clay golf cross 'ball'.
Or maybe a shaped dimple stamp.

Currently thinking about how to make the dimpled mould. But I reckon it's worth a try

The maths will no doubt make my head hurt !

Just don't mind my speaking skills I tend mess up while talking while recording video, not sure why cuz I have great public speaking skills. But anyway here you go.

Nicely done! Thanks vet!

@CA: If you don’t beat me to it, I will see if I can come up with a way to auto generate the dimples in a scalable way and send you the code. It’ll be a fun challenge, but it doesn’t sound easy!

I make the moulds by either reshaping a sphere, or making a flat 2d shape and stretching it.

If you add dimples to the sphere, then you don't get even dimples, some of them will be invariably stretched.
I have no idea if that's a bad thing.
Also openscad always crashes when i try and make the initial dimpled 'golfball' - so I've yet to get beyond that point.

Adding dimples to the final mould file would be more effective, but I suspect the maths to work out how the dimples are place to give even depth hollows is beyond me.

Cool video Ryan - thanks Thumbs Up

Added it to the first post in the thread

@Mersa: are you saying you only have one sling?!

Well, you could always try hand rolling some clay ammo first to see how it works with your sling. That might help you decide what size roller to buy from CA.

Just changed the pricing system.
Now very easy to work out for yourself. It also makes the moulds a little cheaper

Just add the length and diameter together and divide by 8 to give cost in british pounds.

I'm also adding international economy post.
As an example.
Package I just sent to Australia (221gms - 2 moulds) would have been £6.40 by airmail but was just £4.20 by economy.

Airmail would take 5-8 days to get there.
Economy 30-40 days. It's going by ship I presume.

If you want a lot of moulds, it might be worth the wait
