Interchangeable thumb slugs
« on: December 20, 2009, 09:53:06 AM »
I've been having quite a few problems with my thumb slugs as of late. It seems that my balls have been drilled very inconsistantly... I can honestly tell which ball I have in hand with my eyes closed. That being said, I talked with my driller and he suggested that we reslug and drill all of my equipment together. He said we can play with pitch angles until we get everything right, and then do all of the balls.

Seeing as how this is most likely going to cost me a pretty penny, I'm very interested in looking at interchangeable thumb slugs. I can only assume that someone makes predrilled slugs. Could anyone give me some information on interchangeable slugs and make some recommendations? Any help would be appreciated!

Well, I just spoke with my driller, and he is essentially unwilling to do either switch grips or molding.

I don't know what to say. I've heard extremely great things about this guy and his work... but he is difficult to get time with, and not interested in alternative options. I do have a slot on the 7th to spend an entire afternoon with him, which I believe will be beneficial. However, I fear that it's going to cost me 10 slugs to dial in on the right pitch and thumb size for all 5 of my balls. Even after I drop $100 on slugs, I'm not certain I'll walk away with all of my balls feeling "exactly" the same.

What are your thoughts?
