Checking the Fit of Your Bowling Ball
There are three priorities you must consider before you roll a ball: 1) Correct fit; 2)
Timing and coordination in your approach; and 3) The best weight you can handle.
So this article will help find the best fit for your ball. Try to put your thumb all the way
down into the thumb hole and rotate it quickly. If you can do this, your thumb hole is
just fine. If you cannot do this, then take it to a ball driller and have enough taken out of
the thumb so you can rotate your thumb easily.
Next you must check the span or grip. Put you thumb back into the thumb hole all
the way—lay your hand and fingers, stretched, over the two finger holes. Look at the
center of the holes UNDER your fingers, mark the center of the holes with a pencil on
the side of your fingers. This mark determines how far to insert your fingers.
Now insert your fingers up to this mark and then your thumb. Your thumb should go
into the thumb hole easily. Never force your thumb or stretch it to get it into the thumb
hole.
Your thumb steers the ball, so, therefore, it must come out of the thumb hole easily.
Take a moment and hold your hand out in front of you in a shake-hands position.
You will see that your thumb is shorter than your fingers. So keep thinking about that
when you deliver the ball—thumb out, fingers lift the ball.
