Thumb Twist-in-inserts???

[MICHAEL]

John, Mike retired from Iron Work. In his post I believe he meant retire from bowling. That would be pretty dumb, in my opinion, but to each their own

Bill you said that I would be stupid for making a choice that didn’t agree with your thoughts, or ideas on bowling after my goals were reached!
And in reality, compared to the infinite level of knowledge, and wisdom that is, we are all at the level of a plastic bowling ball!! So, in reply to your statement that I am, or would be stupid,,,,,,,,, I somewhat agree!
True wisdom ,,,,is knowing that you are only an atom on a plastic bowling balls left side.
Most choices we Humans make are almost always pretty damn stupid! Read a History book. just look around you,,,,
I do!! How many times have I said using my stupid inner thoughts,
“Beam me UP Scotty” no intelligent life force here on planet earth,,,,,,,, but nothing happens???
Then it dawns on me,,,, I am one of them…. (Stupid life forces), and that’s the only reason why Scotties replacement does not activate the transporter!! So bill, your correct in assuming I would be stupid!! O’Brian, (replacement in the transporter room for Scotty (may he rest in peace),,,,, that’s why I am still here on planet EARTH,,,, A little piece of matter floating around this universe, with billions of other planets,,,,,,,, just ONE of trillions of other know Universes each with its own billions of stars!
Yes, Bill in conclusion, I am nothing but a Mistake Making Machine, maybe this whole planet is a idea gone bad, not well thought out,,,,,,,, not unlike my stupid ideas on bowling
Well not to change the subject,,,but I have things to do
Wow, its cooling off here in Parkville!! Think I might finish painting the house! Iceman lol.. wow I feel better now… how about you William~~~ ()Gee,,, its soooo much easier to read with larger print!!

I don't think I've ever had to scroll so much to read such a short post. BTW, you're not suppose to paint a house with spray cans. And I actually agree with your post lol

I use the turbo switch grips, and sell them in my pro shop. They work great. I have over 20 balls myself, so it is impossible to drill my balls all the same. The only con to having them is, if you have a natural grip to your swing (like me), you can feel about 1/16" move when at the top of your back swing. This is due to the obvious different in size of the slug and outer grip that allows them to come out. I fixed this by putting a small strip of black tape on the outside of the slug. This makes it harder to get them in and out, but makes them firm in the hole when you throw it. I think anyone with more than 3 balls should have them installed. I have about 1000 games on the thumb slug I use most of the time, and it is still going strong. NO sign of it giving up anytime soon. Well worth the investment!

I agree!! I averaged in league 225 last week using them for the first time! My average was 196, now 200! That was a four game league average, first game was 279, tied a Top Gun sub, on the league!! I feel NO slop, or space at all! 1000 percent happy with the brand I purchased, and the job Trent did at NKC AMF.


The brand is Vise ITs! highly recommend!! GREAT,,, SUPPER Feel on release! ICEMAN

Hey quick question regarding switch grips or the other brand. So i know the outer hole has to be larger so if i am converting my existing balls (marvel, Primal Impulse and white dot(can they do the white dot?)) to switch grip will i need to have my current thumb hole plugged and then re-drilled? or is it a case of the can just directly drill over the existing thumb slug and put in the outer?

Thanks

As long as your thumb hole isn't over 1 1/2" then they can just drill
out your existing thumb hole if you know your pitches or let the Pro
shop find them and put the outer sleeve in there without doing any
kind of plugging I do believe.

[DanielMareina]

You are correct, there is no need to plug before drilling. The largest thumb slug is 1 3/8" in most places, so the 1 1/2" bit will widen it a bit and be ready to go. I am not sure about the IT from Vise. To use their's I have to have a different type of drill press.

I never said I like Dude more than you. I just chose my predicted winner for your match Friday. I have a good match tomorrow myself. I will finally get to bowl head to head against my daughter. she text me earlier and said "U better go 2 bed & get some sleep cuz Im taking u 2 school 2morrow. Plannin on droppin an 8series on u. Luv ya"
Now I will translate for the older generation: "You better go to bed and get some sleep because I'm taking you to school tomorrow. I'm planning on throwing an 800 series against you. Love you."
I better bring my A game. She had a bad week last week but has been rolling some serious 800 series this summer. Our house record is 854 and she missed breaking that by a 7-10 split in the 4th frame about a month ago. I think it would be real cool if we both rolled 300s in the same game even though it's non-sanctioned. I plan on open bowling on our pair tomorrow afternoon. The purpose? to burn her favorite line up. It will be the HRR all practice right through her line. Devious? Yes. Fair? Yes.

Wow your daughter is one heck of a bowler,,,, better then The Dude and me put togerther!!! Any film of her bowling!!!!! Post some of YOU and Her bowling togerther,,, that would be cool to see!!!
