Day 1 of Training, :(2 finger bowling)

[TheSheibs]

A slug is used to fill in a hole. It seems that it has become common to drill a thumb hole to fit a slug and then drill the slug to the size hole that is the correct size of for the bowlers thumb. I imagine this makes it easier to refill the hole later since they would just drill out or remove the remaining part of the slug and put a new slug in if the bowler needed the hole redrilled for whatever reason. One reason is that the ball is being passed to a different bowler who had different size thumb.

Currently I use 4 balls
Rotogrip-
Nomad Solid for oil
Nomad Dagger for mediums

Storm-
Pyro for dry and shorter patterns

Columbia-
White Dot for spares and dry

I also have a Urethane ball, a org. Faball Burgundy Hammer

If I were to choose one of those balls for a house pattern, which would you choose, considering you can only take one?

If I were to redrill my dad's ball, would it be expensive?

Like all prices, pro shop services differ by location. Call your pro shop and ask how much they would charge to plug and re-drill. This is a standard procedure and most shops have a menu price for it.

oh alright thanks Bill, I will do that, but if I get the Critical Theory or Infinite Theory then I will use that,

Couldn't have said it better. I know that one of the pro shop in my area charges $20-$40 to drill a ball. The ball itself was $20. The other thing with redrilling your dads ball is that if there are a lot of scratches and such, it might need to be resurfaced which also varies in price depending on location. Also when redrilling a ball, they have to fill in the finger holes too.

I use the Nomad Dagger for the house shot here. But I could use the Solid on it also depending on what surface I put on it.

But that's me and how I bowl ( I start off the night standing around 22 on the approach and break the ball off the 6-7 board. look at my sig. below for more info.)

I see, I haven't broke down my approach on boards yet, rather on arrows..
Do you run up to the lane or how do you approach?

No I don't "Run" up to the foul line, no one should. I use a four step approach.

I don't mean literally run, but speed up from the first step to the 4th step,
because I have seen different styles, from people just walking up to the foul line, stopping then he aimed his shot and released, it had a great throw with hook and demolished the pins.
