Thumb molds
« on: February 24, 2009, 11:54:08 PM »
Looking for someone that makes the molds and can copy my measurements off of a ball and drill a new one to fit.  Location immaterial.

Thanks

SRKEGLER .. good to see you posting. A lot of people WILL NOT agree with this advice but I've been VERY HAPPY with my relationship .. ALL STAR JOE makes molds! I've had (maybe) 35 balls from him with a perfect fit every time. Good luck .. hope you can make WINSTON SALEM this year!

Hey SrK,

Haven't seen you on here much. I have to give my shout out to Doug Sterner. If you send him the ball that you like and want a mold from it. He is your man. I did this a few years ago and everything feels the same way even a couple of years later off of the specs he has on file. Not bad for having a ball drilled 1500+ miles away from me. Pretty fast turn around if you need it to. Should be faster since your a little bit closer. Can't go wrong with Doug.

If you are in the NC area, Strike-Mor Pro Shop in Huntersville, just north of Charlotte, makes custom thumb molds.  They have done my wife's for years.
