I hadn't thought of that idea either - thanks. Problem I see with that
is the shafts, AFAIR, are larger than the ball so wouldn't drill very
deep. I need to go through about an inch or more of wood.

After you got in a quarter inch or so you could switch to a straight
bit. Wandering won't be an issue at that point...
