Title: How do u drill...
Post by: tookey on March 19, 2006, 11:14:08 AM

hey guys,

I'm just startin out at drilling bowling balls,
and i wanted to know what hole do u drill first??

I'm starting to do the thumb first and then work out the fingers individually, i decided to do this cause i figured if i stuff up the thumbs location then i can compensate with the fingers last....

any thoughts greatly apprcieated

   I always start with the middle finger, followed by the ring finger and then the thumb last. I do thi for one main reason. After the two fingers are drilled, I go back with my span guage and remeasure my span and to make sure my thumb line is still centered. If you happen to make a 1/32" variance in one of the finger holes for whatever reason, you can always recenter the thumb and make it perfect.

I do the fingers for the same reason, only I start with the ring.  It's amazing, how quick you can pount out balls, only because you really dont have to be perfect.  I only take my time for high end customers, my boss, and myself.  Otherwise, they don't notice the difference.
