I know drilling here for performance drilling with finger tips and thumbslug at Mccorveys Proshop at the the local alley. What is typical price for all of this? I know where another proshop is now here locally and will be checking them out cause of cheaper prices for everything but curious still to what drilling with performance with finger tips and thumb slug cost...

Thanks

The Pro Shop I go to charges $50 to drill reactive resin balls and $40 for plastic. Then it's another $10 for finger inserts and another $10 for a thumb slug. If you buy the ball from them you don't pay for the drilling but still have to pay for the inserts and thumb slug.

Same here $50 for drilling (unless purchased there) plus $10 for grips and $15 for the IT insert.

I charge $50 to drill a reactive resin ball, $35 for a plastic or if I already have the customers specs and axis, $10 for grips, and $10 for a slug. That is pretty standard around my area too.

The cost at our shop is $60.00 for any specialized drilling on any
reactive resin ball and $30.00 - $40.00 for a simple drill like on a
plastic ball and $10.00 for finger inserts and $15.00 for a urethane
or if you so desire a vinyl thumb slug.

It is $30 to drill, $10 for inserts, and $10 for the slug, if it is an iterchangable (Vise IT) then it is $10 for the sleeve for each ball plus $10 for each slug

Just wondering why it costs more to drill a reactive ball over a plastic one?

It is a matter of how much thought and training is required to do it right. The plastic ball is just drilled in one spot usually, so all I have to do is measure the hand and drill it. A reactive resin ball reacts differently with the thousands of combinations of pin, cg, mb placements. That is when my schooling, training, and experience earn me a few more bucks :)

At the proshop at the alley its right at 70 bucks for drilling tips and slug. I did hear a few people tellme to go to another guy who does good work and i called him up he said 45...

As Daniel said there is a lot more involved in drilling a reactive resin ball
then there is in drilling a plastic ball. When your drilling a plastic ball you
pretty much just do a straight up drill which is placing the finger holes and
the thumb hole over where the pancake weight block is located and adjusting
for a little finger or thumb or side weight.

Now when drilling a reactive resin ball there are so many variables in where
the pin, cg, mb or PSA placements are located and where to put the balance
or weight hole if needed or as some call it the get back hole and etc., etc. as
it is a lot harder to drill than a plastic ball is.

I gotta be honest.. these prices are quite honestly way too high. I'd buy more balls (and get them drilled) if drilling didn't cost as much as the ball

I've never in my life paid as much for drilling as the ball. I would be willing to though if that's what it took to have it done correctly the first time. My Storm Ice was $84 including drilling, tips and thumb slug. Given the internet price of $70, I was charged $14 for the drilling, tips and slug. I'm not sure where you are getting balls for $50 but then again, you get what you pay for.
