Longest span drilled
« on: August 18, 2005, 07:24:08 AM »
Stick's reply in another post made me wonder about span length.  The longest I've ever drilled was 5 3/16".  How about you other drillers?  --  JohnP

I swear I saw one around 5 11/16 once or was it 5 15/16?

Just stood next to a guy about 6'9" getting one drilled.
His feet looked like tennis rackets, I assume hands like first baseman mitts.

I should have asked his span.  By the way I will see him again soon.....Wonder if he uses forward?  All the best bowlers do!

REgards,

PS I can guarantee you that if he took it up ....Spencer Haywood would have one of the longest spans.  I read He had a third joint in his fingers they were so long!

I wonder what that would be as a stretched span?
