Finger hole sizing

[billf]

Here is my coaching philosophy about finger type although I always let the customer make the final decison. If you are wanting to just bowl occasionally, go with conventional and stay with a house ball. If you are serious about becoming a better bowler, there are already so many changes that will be made that adding fingertip grip isn't that much more of a big deal. With conventional a lot of people try to generate revs with their wrists, elbows and all sorts of other improper form/techniques while switching to fingertips and allowing the bowl to roll off correctly is possibly the single biggest natural change to increase revs, hook potential and pin carry.

When you do go to the fingertip grip, get use to the feel by holding the ball by your side and letting it seem more naturalswing naturally back and forth. This will help the "feel" seem more natural and help develop/keep a nice, fluid, free arm swing.
