pin.chaser,

I too have changed to the TriGrip. Drilled 4 balls last weekend that Bill Hall laid out.I agree with everything you posted. I have been bowling for 39 years and have tried every grip known to man. This grip for me fits my hand and comes off so smooth. Bill has been working on this for at least 5 yrs, it is now perfect. All i can say to everyone who has doubts give it a try.

Despite what you may have previously read, once you have the trigrip fit you like a normal tgrip measurement will duplicate it. And any ball driller can drill it albeit they will look at you funny. Just hand them your spec sheet.

I agree this is new and might be a fad or it might revolutionize how to fit balls. It's your call if you want to be on the front end or backend. If your like me I want to understand it and try it. I'm not converting everything I own, going at it slow. But this shows me the potential that there may be a way I can get better.

I've been fitting (fairly successful I might add) for over 25-30 yrs on every level...I'm pretty sure I can fit fairly well without it thank you

I'm not even sure what that translates too...

Changing pitches or where you measure them from? 

Actually after viewing bowling balls on that system it appears your only changing the pitches. Everything else is very standard. Interesting

First, I had the honor to be able to have my hand and grip looked at who I consider the best "guru" ever, Bill Taylor. Although he asked about my lack of bevel in the fingers, it was spot on.

Second, I talked to a friend about it, told him my current span and pitches, and he throws out at me "7/16 left, 0 f/w in the thumb" when my current pitches are 1/4 fw and 1/8 right.

Now, I'm not ignorant to fitting practices. Sounds a bit radical. Am I saying I won't try it? Not at all. I would plug and redrill something just as a test bed. But it sounds awfully off the wall.

Now look at the red lines marking the balls grip. Once you measure your new pitches on this line your back to laying the ball out as normal, and with the new pitches measured off this line. I am guessing that is part of what is taught after everything is said in done.

So even though it looks different it really isn't. It appears to be a different way of measuring and fitting obviously.

No need to apologize its not my ball. I'm not the proshop who is using the system.  I just used their pic to demonstrate what we've heard so far. Eventually it will be free online and most will disregard it. My $200 will go to practice and new equipment. Just cause its fun
