I read a post about narrow bridge & it renewed my interest in accomplishing this. At the present time I use vaccu-grips & my bridge from inside grip to inside grip is 9/16". I feel this is too wide & I can tell my ring finger does things after my middle finger exits. Any suggestions on how to get a narrow bridge without not using grips. I don't mind not using vaccu, but would like to continue using inserts. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Also, I think it was Deadbait suggested drilling out the bridge & gluing the grips together. When doing this Would the little tip at top & bottom center be prone to cracking or breaking off?

thats an interesting bit about gluing the inserts together, anybody tried this? what kind of results did yo uhave, does this void the warranty or does this get around it all together?

OK, I took one of my balls to the pro shop & had it plugged & redrilled. I killed 2 birds as I had it laid out pin axis which I've been wanting to do, & had the bridge drilled out gluing the 2 grips together as suggested by deadbait. I now have a 3/16 bridge instead of 9/16 & even though I haven't bowled with it yet, it feels great & I know I'm going to like it. I asked my pro shop guy why he hadn't ever done that for me, & he said "Because you didn't ask". Thanks for the suggestions.

I like it! I am not going to change any of my existing balls, but all of my new ones will have the fingers drilled that way!
