PSO appointment....

I got to bowl with one of the balls that I got the span stretched and the thumbhole enlargened. Much better! I need to replace the finger inserts. They are just worn out. The ball came off my hand so much cleaner. I stayed with the ball for all three games even though the conditions warranted a ball change. The third game I hit the pocket 11 straight times, 2 strikes and 9 ringing 10's. I just kept playing the ball and kept tweaking the thumbhole.
Now I'm on vacation and have a business trip to Eastern Pennsylvania. Take care of business and going to hit the local bowling lanes just to have fun. I'll pick up another ball that should be done tomorrow too. Fun!!

Back from my appt with my PSO. Found out a few things that I figured out just by feel. Stretched the span on two balls to 4 1/2 " from 4 3/8". Increased thumbhole size to 55/64, up 1/32". Another ball was all f****d up in the thumbhole. The pitches were backwards so he pulled the slug and will plug the ball and re-slug it and drill it to the new span and thumbhole.
Two other balls are correct in the span but the thumbholes are on the small side. Since the spans are good I'm going to manually open up the thumbholes and those balls should be ok.

This is why I like the switch grips so much ball to ball the thumb feel is always the same

My PSO doesn't do switch-grips, and I'm too cheap anyway. By using the Hada patch on my thumb plus the black fitting tape, I can get each ball close enough.
