    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
