Title: exactacated thumb inserts
Post by: Long Roller on October 17, 2006, 01:20:25 PM: How are these made and where do I find out more info on them? Does anyone use these and like them? How does the feel compare to standard urethane slugs?

Post by: Long Roller on October 17, 2006, 09:58:16 PM: It looks awesome, but I'm slightly worried about the feeling of a plug texture instead of urethane in the thumbhole. It would be great to hear from someone that uses these....

Post by: monstercrank on October 17, 2006, 10:01:52 PM: i agree, im pretty sure we did a few for mark roth... and i dont think the texture would be a problem, as its like silicon, its really smooth, and even if it wasnt just take a grey scotch brite pad and smooth it out. i do that on all my thumbholes and they are like glass, not to mention it makes my tape stick better too.

Post by: BrunsNick on October 18, 2006, 03:44:05 AM: Sorry I couldn't answer more earlier, just saw the post and was in a rush!

I use VISE Silicone to make the molds, and I use Ultimate Wizard QuickPlug for the thumb inserts. The texture of this stuff is ALMOST IDENTICAL to a slug. No kidding, it even works out the same.

I have done molds for members here on BallReviews, they've shipped me their ball, and I shipped it back with a few molded thumbs. It's not exactly the cheapest route, but getting the best feel is worth EVERY PENNY.
