Ive never seen the Jonells before. We use the classics in my shop and they work extremly well for us.

I have a cheap tru pitch set!

It is a pain in the neck...BUT I like it!

It is easy to lose pieces...BUT I haven't!

What is cool is first off...it's pretty accurate!
2nd...it's cheap.  Third one can use it to get the sizes of hole...and even to get the sizes of oval shapes(so much in the x direction) so much in the y direction).

I use it to find the stuff and fits that seem to really work the best for me!

As a result despite the little irritation of so many pieces it seems to have even more utility than the excellant Classic pitch guages.

REGards,

DanSweet is dead on here. However, the Jonells are really expensive. Way more than the Classic Pro Set, which is probably why most pro shops that I have been around have the Classic Pro guages and not the Jonells.

In this industry, you get what you pay for.

The Jonell has the best construction overall, easy to read, and I feel it gives the most accurate measurement of pitch.

The Classics are okay, so if you're just getting them for yourself or not running a shop, then you'll be okay.

Lol but yeah Jonell are absolutely the best you can buy. The Classic's have to much play in them in my opinion.

does the set come with instructions?  I see how they can be useful for hole sizes, but I don't get how they help figure out the pitch - https://www.shop.innovativebowling.com/displayProductDocument.hg?productId=250&categoryId=37

Must be that plastic span ruler looking thing at the bottom of the picture.

Just curious - one pro shop I used has them, but they seem to only use them for measuring hole size, not pitches.

They look good enough for a home driller that is only drilling for 1 or 2 people.

I have had the Tru pitch, they are ok, nothing wrong with them, you have to know or find the hole size to get a true reading. I use the classic set. They work like a charm. Easy to read, find pitch etc so if you are looking to spend a bit, get them, if you want to spend a lesser amount, the tru pitch will work, just takes a bit longer to get the right size/pitch, that's all.

Thanks Azguy.  I know my hole size, and I have a brunswick fitting ball, so I should be okay - I'm not planning on drilling for anybody other than myself.  

I'd rather save the $120 and use that towards a router/shield/plug cutter.

I just want to play around with some different thumb pitches.  $20 every trip to the pro shop is starting to add up!  Probably not enough to justify spending all this money on equipment, but it's something that I'm interested in and something to keep me busy.
