Is it possible
« on: September 23, 2003, 06:35:18 PM »
Is it possible to measure your finger grips to determine what size they are.  My ball driller is good, but not always to keen on giving out that kind of info.  Like he thinks anything he tells you can be used to go to a different driller.  I just want to start changing out my own finger inserts instead of paying him to do it.  Nice guy just probably doesn't deserve 12.50 for changing my grips.

I don't really play cards and I am not 79, but it fits together somehow.

 If you look at the grip there will be a sizing number on the bottom of the lip or on the backside.

You can't dependably rely on the measurements if the grip is in the ball, or even if its out, if it has significant wear.
When the grip goes in the hole, the hole compresses it a slight bit.

How about you go to another pro shop and ask???
I won't deal with a pro shop that refuses to give me a copy of my measurements.
I always have them with me, so that if my equipment gets lost when I travel, I can get something drilled up.

Hah!  We'd change them for 8 . .  Find somebody that either buys their own grips or has numbers inside the grips and see if they're close to your size.

HAH!  I don't know ANYBODY now!

Being in adult leagues teaches you many things.  

1.  You're not on top anymore, but there are a lot more people that suck worse than you do now.  

2.  The myth about the youths having an easier shot is NOT TRUE.  I'd have an entire ring collection if it was.  

3.  Drunk adults are a lot funnier than drunk youths.
