Thread: Thumb switch grip?

    You can buy a blank, and have it drilled at any pro shop. I've only seen them sold as blanks, not pre drilled. Bowlingball.com sells them new, undrilled.

    I asked if i could bring a blank in and apparently they dont have the equipment to be able to drill it. Im not in a huge rush to drill it as its similar in strength to my crossroad but i am fairly interested in the switch grip system

    Really, ok my bad, I thought they used the same bit they used when they drill out a slug. Do you kow your thumb size? Maybe someone here on the site can go to there local pro shop, get a sleeve drilled for you to your specs and mail it to you. I would, but I only know of one driller around here who has them, and he is exspensive, and I don't go there much anymore.

    hes said its only 25$ to convert it to the IT system which wasnt too bad and in the end thats prob the better choice than paying costs for shipping on top if the inner sleeve and molding. Thanks for the offer though.

    Wow, $25 to plug it, re drill it, and the inner and outer sleeve? That's a great price. My driller carges $25 just for the inner sleeve.

    maybe they dont have to re drill it and can use the existing hole? Thats what im assuming cuz i asked him how much it would be to plug and redrill with just a conventional hole and no switch grip and it was the same price.

    It will have to be plugged first. The Turbo sleeve is much wider in diamater than the Vise sleeve. I have the Turbo, and a friend has the Vise, and there is a big difference between the two. Before your driller does anything make sure they know exactly what they are doing, and exactly what it costs.

    Oh dont worry hes one of the best in san diego. It was over the phone so he didnt explain the whole process to me, he just gave me the different prices. Ill be seeing him in a couple days to get my gfs ball adjusted and ill have him explain it to me then.
