Would USBC endore Tri-Grip with a pinky hole or is this idea, POO?

[Blacksox1]

I have some equipment drilled with a pinky hole. Its is for gripping and is very comfortable. It is without the insert grip.

Reading the forums, the Tri-Grip seems like a positive!

Could this combination, be the fit of the future ?

You never know which is why you should be the first to try it! You could be a pioneer of a new grip!

I don't think it matters much (USBC). The USBC has rules about weight, balance, rowdiness…and I think there's a max number of holes…like 6. So I think you can have a hole for every finger and thumb if ya want…as long as it doesn't make the ball out of balance.

You can have a max of 12 holes.

Geez. Has anyone ever seen a bowling ball with 12 holes in it??

[tccstudent]

NOT counting the ball you use to size finger holes?

I would like to see a picture of your ball drilled with the pinky hole!!! The Tri-Grip is VERY comfortable to me! I can't vouch for other Drillers, but James here in Kansas City Mo, does a great job! The comfort level if 100 percent better!
He has converted 4 balls for me, and I am stopping at that number!

Any new ball I purchase will have the Tri-Grip! James and Bruce the owner of BP's Pro shop here in town, have both had several 300s with the grip, including a lady that had NEVER bowled a 300!!

Its the real deal in my opinion, not hype!!

You can have a max of 12 holes.

The ball can have a balance hole, and a mill hole.
Each finger hole can also have a vent hole.

So for those freaks of nature that have a 6th finger there could be up to 14 holes.

When aliens finally make their presence known, and choose to bowl, who knows how many holes might be allowed.

I understand about five finger and vent holes as well as a balance hole. What the heck is a mill hole?

One mill hole for inspection purposes not to exceed 5/8 inch in diameter and 1/8 inch in depth.

A mill hole has a flat, rather than a cone shape at the bottom of the hole.

Usually placed just above the fingers, used to test ball hardness.

The only Aliens I know that might even be interested in bowling, have ONLY 3 fingers!! I think in my last encounter I did take a picture... let me look it up, and post!

Maybe they are the ONES that gave the sport to us,,,,, and that's why we only use to this day 3 holes!!!

Well if I remember my bowling history correctly the origins of bowling came from ancient Egypt. So maybe the aliens that built the pyramids also introduced us to bowling
