I use low pressure and low flow so no not for me, but if you use 4l/min at 80psi then maybe but probably not because of the angle of the holes.
I dont advise you to try drilling the holes unless you are ultra patient and use a bristle guard.

lol yes I use a high flow, but was just asking because I seen a wfp brush at a suppliers with large holes pre drilled, looked a nice brush and very light but wasn't sure about the water, but I suppose i could just fill the holes or gaffer tape them if it was a problem
