Default RE: TBM props

How did you get your TBM prop to balance?!?! I have had 6 of their props (23x10's and 24x10's) and only 3/6 were usable. Never able to get 3 to balance because the hole was way off-center: tip-to-tip balance was never really a problem, but the hubs were ridiculously off. No amount of velcro and CA would do it.

Maybe standards have changed since last year.

I love TBM and I spend a lot of money with them, but I can't risk buying the "TBM" props anymore without some reassurance that they can actually be balanced. Maybe I just got a bad lot, beacuse I've never had big problems with NX, Xoar or MSC, and I'm sure one of those manufacturers is simply supplying TMB the props with TBM stamped on the front. Anyone know if that's true?
