I took a look in reference and it was not as clear as I thought out there.
Here is an old post....
Interesting question.
I sort of had it!! In a way but I couldn't bowl a lot of games.
I've been tweaking hundreds of balls since lets say......and have a real nice feeling now...but still tweaking. Translation not ready to bowl great again.
For me finding the PERFECT fit is a delay mechanism BUT....
Had a guy over yesterday AND....fit him and drilled for him(I do very little of this) as I am just a home hobbiest. He is estatic with the fit of this one and how I got several other balls to feel the same that didn't.
On the other hand...I was not as estatic as drove up and I watched him bowl and I felt I did not like perfectly how his thumb was coming out.....(he has a very stiff thumb and I felt I took out TOO MUCH of his reverse). But he was holding on better than before and with no knuckle bend.
Here are an observation on fit and the feeling of sameness. Bevel can make a BIG difference. I see lots of balls that when I look at them and compare to the "good" feeling ball I can't believe the proshop ball REALLY ever looked at the "good" feeling ball or looked at his "finished" product and declared it "the same".
Using the Mo Pinel bevel method of bevel adjustment. Middle finger for side bevel and ring finger for front. Often gives different bevel amounts which must be blended or feathered together at the intersections of these two zones.
THIS single element above of BEVEL can make ALL the difference in feel.
If the business was not such a low pay field I would do it....BUT sorry!
They tell me I'm pretty good at this.....they are maybe ...right.
Anyway....put middle finger ONLY in...move thumb in and out....adjust side bevel for hang. Gently with your bevel Knife. Be careful of angle.....be aware of working knife either down the barrel, at a 45 degree or at the top.
GEt a clean in and out on the side while holding middle finger in ball.
NOW Ring finger in only.....move thumb in and out and adjust the front bevel.
NOTE the same guy can have one ball with a lot of forward(MAY require a lot of bevel) and another ball with reverse(this setup may require a lot less bevel). And same span.
BUT I LIKE bevel...or don't like bevel....get it?
IT's the pitch, your span, and your bevel that make the combo work!
