So ive had always had grips in my bowling equipment since i was a kid, always kept them because i bowled well and had never tried a ball w/out them, well my buddy gave me his cell pearl without grips and i throw it just as good as my other equipment but the feel seems to be way better, and i come out of the ball much cleaner. Have any of you went from grips to no grips i was j/w if anyone had advice on this

Iam a grips guy too, but have tried no grips in a couple balls.. you do come out of the ball cleaner.. in my trials I lost a little on the bottom and in the way the ball finished.. without grips you defintely dont grab it as much, but once the hole are there I found that adding tape to tighten if loose was harder to find the correct feel.. sometimes making my finger tips sore.. it is all personal feel and opinion type of thing on which is better for "YOU".. trial and error, I ending opting on staying with the grips.. I also tried vacuum grips and still went back to the regular ones.. slashrr69

Find a good driller to try this. I went from grips to none, and love it. Cleaner out of ball. More revs. No hanging in ball. Just remember your fingers are not round, make the holes fit correctly and they will be way more comfy.

well it works out that my driller is a good friend of mine who has the exact same span..measurements etc...so i know he knows what to do because its his ball im throwing and i havent changed anything on it. The fingers on this ball have tape on the front and back and fit snug, very comfortable

Grips/no grips is strictly a personal preference. My advice -- try a ball without grips. If you don't like it your driller can easily enlarge the finger holes to accept grips. -- JohnP
