Time for a plugging and redrilling.......

I'm not sure if you use a slug or not, but if you used a slug and was charge $23, that's crazy.

Years ago, I was experimenting with thumb pitches. I had a 1/4 reverse and I went through 5 or 6 slugs with various forward pitches till I went down to 1/8 forward.

I paid $5 per slug. No need to plug this old ball we used. Just reslugged it.

But if you don't use slugs for the thumb, I guess that's okay.

I wish I could do that. But I have King Kong thumbs that are near the size of a thumb slug lol. Not any room to adjust anything so where I pick is where it is at without plugging and starting over.

Find a new PSO!!!

Easier said than done many places nowadays, but yeah, my local PSO charges $60 for a plug, redrill, rejuv and resurface. $55 plugs only is robbery.

Guess I should consider myself lucky, a couple of weeks ago paid 30 for repair a large chip, rejuv and resurface of a ball.

Agreed, $20-$30 to adjust the thumb on a ball you like and get it to throw and roll the way you want is worthwhile. Our local shop talked my little cousin out of redoing the thumb on a ebay find because it would've cost around $50 to do and the ball just wasn't worth it so he's going to look around for another ball for him. I guess sometimes its always best to just go talk to your PSO for awhile.

To get switch grips and an insert or two for $55.

the large slug at 1 3/8 should be enough room to play with, ask your PSO.

I have a 61 size thumb hole, we used the larger slug 1 3/8 and it had plenty of room.

the original slug size is 1 1/4.. I use an it now.. I'm pretty sure your thumb isn't 1 5/16th king kong size, or is it? lol

Does your ball have a slug in it now, not talking about an interchangeable thumb slug, but a blank / solid slug that they then drill out. If you do and the pitch it all you want changed it might even be possible, depending on how the ball is drilled now , to either drill out the old slug or drill out the thumb hole for a slug and then drill the new slug with the change in pitch you are looking for......
Here is a video that shows a blank slug being installed

Yes, I have a regular slug in it now that the pro shop can drill out and put in a new one with the new forward pitch.

Yep. They drill out my thumb hole with the same bit as a switch grip outer sleeve and bevel the hole. Lol. No It's a touch under 1 1/4. 1 3/8 would work if he had them or didn't charge $15 ish each time he drilled out and replaced.
