bowlers using Vise IT system
« on: October 22, 2009, 06:19:43 PM »
After you got your IT(assuming you liked it) did you convert any old equipment to the IT system?  For discussion purposes let's assume all of the old balls can be converted.  I like the feel of the IT and I am considering converting some of my old balls.

Converting over old equipment has been pretty standard for our customers that have utilized the Vise-It system.  They bring us one ball to try it out in and starting bringing in a ball or 2 a week.

I just started doing about 2 weeks ago.  Drilled a nib, put the it in it and then started convertin other balls.  Got a total of about 8-10 of them done now.  I love it, balls that were really close but not quite perfect are all perfect.  I recommend to anyone, its really easy to use

Is it a must to have the starter kit? or can you just buy the slugs and inner pieces needed and go from there?

I converted all 7 of my balls to the vise IT.. I didn't us a thumb slug before and was changing span so everything was being plugged for redrill anyway..

They are great.. they all feel identical and I think it has allowed me to improve my bowling game..

I didn't just for the fact I don't want to take time and hold up the game changing my thumb back and forth everytime I have to attempt a spare ..

Yes, I have. I have a dedicated slug in the spare, so I don't have to constantly change it between my strike balls. Having IT in the spare ball is useful for those times when the thumb swells. I have a few extra in different sizes to avoid having to play with tape all the time.

Same as Steven use same size IT in spare ball as strike ball.  At this time I have two regular size and two larger with one more side cut.  Use oval thumbs done on Ebonite mill machine.

Same as Steven and scotts33 i have a slug dedicated to my spare ball. That way there is no switching back and forth. Plus in s pinch gives you another spre if needed

I converted all of my older equipment to the IT. I don't have a slug dedicated to the Spare ball, but I like that idea. Plus then there is a back up slug. I have 3 slugs each slightly bigger than the first. I just use the next larger slug in my spare ball.
