Yup, but i like it. My hands sweat so i have a slightly larger thumb to use when the release isn smooth
Thumb switch grip?
So long story short, i bought a used Dv8 Too Reckless to play with and i totally forgot it came with the outer sleeve of a switch grip. So my question is, inner sleeves have to be molded for you no? Ie i couldnt just buy a inner sleeve, twist it in there and be ready to roll?

The Vise IT comes as a solid chunk of plastic that's drilled, beveled, cut, etc. to fit your thumb.
I'm not sure about the Turbo switch.

One more question,are the holes drilled for finger grips the same size universally?

Most of them are, but they can be drilled bigger for the bigger size grips. As far as the Switch Grips, they are nice, worth the investment.Originally Posted by e-tank
Sinister is the only way to live.
Hole size for the switch grip should be, but span won't, if the span is to far off you might have a problem. consult your proshop

TONIGHT WE BOWL! DV8 DAMN GOOD BOWLING
I just got Switch Grips put in my balls and first off, they are wonderful. the inner sleeve is just like a normal thumb slug. Drilled into and then trimmed down flush. I know you can get pre-drilled ones but I imagine they would still need to be trimmed flush to the ball surface.
So after calling around no one is able to do switch grips, only the IT. Anyone of a place online that sells pre molded ones?
