    There are several threads that ask this.

    $40-$50 is about average, depending on what part of the country your in.

    Here in the expensive Bay Area (CA) one place charges $45 and the other $60. What do other places around the country cost?

    I wonder why it costs more for finger tip drilling than conventional drilling...it's just 3 holes drilled into the same material...is the 5 minutes of time the pso takes to measure your hand worth 15 dollars? If so i'm in the wrong business...

    Mostly Because conventional drillings dont typically have finger inserts and or thumb inserts or slugs put in. Those are usually included in the price.

    Plus it takes more than 5 mins to fit a ball, lay it out and drill it. At least if its being done right!

    Now if you were getting a ball drilled a kmart or some such, where they just went punch, punch, punch. For convetional grip.........

    Finger tip drilling has finger tip inserts and a thumb slug, which adds costs, as well as the layout (which I guess really only takes a couple minutes) vs. conventional which consists of 3 holes drilled in a common location (no layout assuming plastic ball). Both require the PSO to measure your hand.

    So they charge more for a finger tip drilling that doesn't include inserts and slug? If so, that's robbery.
