THE " Bill Hall Tri-Grip?

[Bunny]

im sure my pro shop guy would be interested in learning if i brought it up to him. No way im going to el centro lol

I know, right. The area does look a little rough.

BP'S Pro Shops


James Graham shot his second 300 last night using the Bill Hall Tri Grip. Iceman is on his team, we won all 4, and James first game was a perfect 300 with the Bill Hall Tri-Grip! It was PERFECT, every shot in the pocket!! GREAT JOB JAMES!! I hope to have another one soon, or maybe that coveted 800!! I might be picking up that 16lb Beatdown, that Bruce plugged, and converted to the Tri-Grip!

Very interesting, I have never seen a grip like this before.
Let alone even think about one.

I guy I bowl with on Monday, James, who drills balls for BP Pro Shop, drilled his ball using the Tri-Grip, and has bowled two 300 in the last couple weeks! I think it will become the standard soon!!

I wouldn't say standard lol.
I really want to try this, but I don't to drill a ball like that to 'try'

I can assure you that the Tri-Grip is not "merely" a CLT but is far from it. Many have tried to copy the Tri-Grip with the CLT method and have not been successful. Unless you understand the linear lines of the tendons of the hand that is based off of kinesiology that is explained in the video then no you cannot copy it.

If you have your specs and go to another shop then yes that other shop can copy it if they know the technique.
There has been many players that have compared the Tri-Grip with the CLT method and have found that the balance and feel of the grip is completely different from each other. If you want to do your own comparison then I completely encourage it by finding a shop near you that has the Tri-Grip method.

The way Mr. Hall said it, you'd almost believe that the video comes with a wacky drill bit. Anything noticeably different about finger pitches or the angles of the inserts compared to the old drilling?

As far as copying the grip.

If you just have a spec sheet of your grip,they might not be able drill it. if it uses a different system of writing down the spec's (where everything is measured from) than what is normally used. Then they might have to know the system to do it.

But If you walk in a shop with a drilled ball that had been fitted using the Tri-grip system, they can copy the grip off the ball.

Anything that can be drilled, can be copied.It's just spherical geometry co-ordinate's.

You are absolutely correct!!! BUT, its his method of measurements as to the correct position and pitch of ball that makes it unique. So Once you have been
fitted by this method, yes,,,,,, another pro shop driller could copy it I am sure. But then I have not ordered the tape, and technique! I just know its given James and myself a huge different ball delivery! More accuracy, greater revs, and (better direction of rev's). I've been told this by several frineds that say they can see the difference in spinning direction into the pocket.

[got_a_300]

MICHAEL, when you say better direction of rev's how has the
direction of your rev's changed?

Do you get more side rev's or more forward rev's on the ball
now or what has changed?

I'm going to guess "direction of rev's" is referring to the angle of rotation and/or tilt of the axis.
