Title: ball drilling
Post by: pin-smasher on July 04, 2010, 12:37:20 PM
Since i have just started to drill my own stuff i decided to get all my balls together and measure them against my drill sheet measurements and i noticed that only a couple of them actually match and all balls were drilled by same person...anyone else ever run into that

Unfortunately, that is pretty common.

Me, a couple balls, two lanes, all that is right with the world.  Bowling is my haven!

Another reason for buying the KMT Personal Ball Jig.  Drill them yourself!  www.kmtballjig.com .

Yeah, I think this is all too common. I have since changed shops and no longer run into this problem.

I noticed thr same thing since I also recently started drilling my own balls.They weren't off by much,maybe a 1/16 and they all felt good.I've discovered that the art of putting gripping holes in a bowling ball is an inexact science.

The more I practice,the luckier I get.

i measured my middle finger hole to hole and on my favorite ball its 4 3/8 and i found a bunch of balls that were 4 1/4 then some were right on the middle finger but off on the ring finger...

I had this problem until I switched drillers a few years back, I always wondered why I'd clear ball X a little better than ball Y and this one just felt better than that one.
