Title: How would you do this? And why?
Post by: Ragnar on May 19, 2005, 08:18:10 AM

I was ruminating the other day and remembered an old ball that was on the racks when I was a kid.  The fingers were actually drilled into the ball so that they curved - they actually made an arc in the ball.  How would you drill that and why?

That was called a "Curve All" grip. It was for more gripping and/or lifting purposes. The curve in the fingers was more comfortable than just using straight forward pitch.

I don't know for sure how you drill it. I think the older drill machines could do it, but not sure if the new models can accomodate this. =:^D

I hate to side-rail this thread but now that Bob Hanson has mentioned it, the oft-cursed Collier grip almost seems, from an intuitive standpoint, to be more applicable to or for a conventional grip than to a finger-tip grip. I am not sure why it seems that way to me ...

Now back to our regularly scheduled debate. Sorry, Rags.
