Hi Tom,

After extensive testing with round, octagonal, and square patches, I concluded that square patches are best. The most important factor is that the ball should be centered on the patch when it is started down the bore. With a square patch it is much easier to center the ball. Round patches are the worst in this regard.

Take care, Tom
