Brought my balls in and I should have them back all with switch grips Friday evening. I also got two sets of inserts. He recommended to get two fo both size incase one breaks. I also ended up getting a new ball, Pitbull. I have county tournament Saturday for team division. He said drill the new ball and placing switch grips in a total o 5 balls will be done Friday. Crazy!! The shop at the house I bowl at would take much longer!

That is pretty fast. So how do you get both sizes? Go back in when your thumb is swollen or just make same shape just bigger?
Pitbull looks like a monster. It was on my short list with the ghost and gauntlet. Ended up with the ghost after throwing it at a demo and getting a killer deal on it.
Atleast you will have some time to throw it before the tourney!

I have a ball that fit me when my thumb is swollen. So he took that measurement and measure meant of my other balls which fit great when it's not swollen. When I pick them up Friday he will do adjustments if needed. Went with Ptibull as I need a tourney ball. I don't do much tournaments, but need a ball that will hook on different patterns and he said that ball HOOKS!

Do you plan to still use tape inside inserts (if you ever did before)

Idrill my inserts (normal size) to use 2 pieces of tape for ripping purpose as my hands are extremely dry do to my dialysis treatments. I have az total of 9 thumbs available. I have 2 that are ery large from when I weighed 50 pounds more than I do now. They usually only go with me to tournaments where i will bowl a lot of games over 2 days. I have 2 each normal,larger and smaller. And I have 1 that is very small for when I have been out of bowling for a while due to health isxsues
Still love the game but had to quit because of my left leg amptation

I use VISE IT's. Love them, thumb is nice and secure and having the ability to change size of the thumb is certainly a plus.
I currently have 3 thumbs of varying sizes.

a naked thumb hole always seems strange to me. Maybe because bowlers use the thumb tape on their thumb, but for those bowlers who don't use no tape or whatever inside their thumb slug/IT/SG or on the their thumb, makes me wonder how they get consistent timing.....
