What Age To Change Child To Fingertip Grip
« on: July 16, 2008, 05:31:56 AM »
Is there a general age at which you should change your child from full finger grip to fingertip grip?

Thanks

a fingertip ball when fitted correctly, will allow a person to use a ball that is atleast 1 lb, possibly even 2 lbs heavier than using a ball with a conventional grip

Thanks,

I am probably a little late. I drilled the scorchin fingertip for my 12 year old a few days ago and he will use it this weekend.

I have a fury pearl that I won on ebay for 42 shipped that I am going to drill for my ten year old. I will post some video of them both soon.
