I heard that sleeving 2" sch 40 pvc with another piece of 2" sch40 will make a barrell perfect for golf balls. But I have also heard of sleeving sdr21 in 2" sch80. Which will work better? And what is the best way to aquire a piece of sdr21?

I'd just go with sleeving it, it would be much easier, probably cheaper too.

If you have very low standards of 'perfect', then yes.

All the sleeving attempts ive seen have never came close to the fit in that of SDR-21. There is something like a 3/8" or so gap left from the sleeving. Also typically two walls 'grab' the GB and there is a 1/32" or so gap left on the other two sides perpidicular to the 'grabbing'.

Sleeved and Un-Sleeved GB Barrels can be bought from me. To get a quote shoot me a email at sales.vivi@gmail.com and provide me with your ZIP code, desired length(s), and if youd like the length(s) to be sleeved or not.

well, from what i read a golf ball is 1.680" so 1.680x2.5x10 = 420mm

(there are 2.5 cm in an inch and 10mm in a cm)

Mind your zeros; 400 mm is bigger than your head!
