eBay's: "Choosing a Bowling Ball" text...

Found the hole size idea pretty funny....

Choose a Bowling Ball

When investing in your bowling game, your most important piece of equipment is the bowling ball. Here are some factors to consider.

    * Weight of the bowling ball: A bowling ball that’s too heavy will be difficult to handle, while a ball that’s too light will have too much lift. As a rough guide, men should try balls in the 14, 15, and 16-pound range and women should look for balls from 10 to 14 pounds. Children need lighter bowling balls.
    * Size of the bowling ball holes: Generally, heavier balls have larger holes and lighter balls have smaller holes. Make sure the holes fit your hands comfortably.
    * Left-handed versus right-handed bowling balls: Right-handed balls are drilled with the ring finger hole an eighth of an inch further away from the thumb hole. Left-handed bowlers may find that specially-drilled left-handed balls more comfortable.

yes, but instead of throwing them away send them to me and I'll take care of them.

...and thank goodness you found out about this before you drilled any more balls with improper spans and ruined them too  : )
