Title: Problem with my IT grip
Post by: lefty50 on January 30, 2014, 08:28:15 PM
Can anyone tell me if they have had problems with their IT grips? Now that I have seven balls with multiple Inners I suddenly find that two have broken in the last week. In fact, as I sit here at bowling, my favorite Inner has become stuck in one of the balls and does nothing but spin in the bottom of the hole. I cannot get it out.

Can anyone tell me a trick to safely remove it and what may be causing the problem?

Go to the VISE site.  They have a list of many fixes to problems that might occur including the one you are having.  The fix is to get a wood chisel, heat it up a bit and tap it into the bottom of the slug. Hold the chisel firm and twist the slug out.  I have done this and it does work.  I would guess that you pro shop might be using the old slug-it safety mollies.  If it is glued it, its the old one.  The new ones are screwed in.

Thanks Stan! I'll go to the site and will try the chisel as well. Appreciate the reply...
