looks pretty neat, the only thing i noticed was that there was no finger pitch, and no way to tell if the ball was legal after drilling without a scale.  i like it though

I LOVE IT! Cause when somebody tries to drill their own ball and screws it up, then they'll realize that it's not all that easy. What about trying new pitches? Wow, this is funny! When they screw up and come to my shop to fix it, I'll say take it back to the guy that drilled it and screwed it up. What! You drilled it yourself! ha ha ha
I actually had a guy bring a ball in that he tried to plug with bondo and drill it himself with a hand drill!

What about layout knowledge........?Most ball manufacturers give you a layout guide with with new ball purchase--if not go to their website to find everything you need to know.  The jig also comes with an instructional video that you can view @ www.myspace.com/kmtproshop

finger pitches are adjustable--if you're drilling a symetrical core ball, just keep the CG within 1 inch of the center of your grip

I bowled with a guy one season that tried that too... ugliest patch job I ever seen.  Didn't help his game any, but it obviously didn't hurt it either!

Oh that's good.  Cut out the middle man.  Why pay someone to destroy your fingers, tendons and nerves when you can do it yourself?  Carpal tunnel syndrome here I come!  Sign me up for the Darwin award please.

What if you have a large thumb and use a 1 3/8 O.D. sleeve?

  Looks like a good item, IF people use common sense. I think i would have to have some type of disclaimer that would not leave me liable for balls being mis-drilled using this device. People can be idiots, and might try to blame the jig for their own mistakes, then try to recoup their loss at your expense.

 And, you guys who are so quick to call this idiotic, should remember that it isn't rocket science to drill a ball, ESPECIALLY when you already have one that fits correctly and all you have to do is transfer measurements from one to another.  If I can drill a ball, anybody can, and I used to drill quite a few (in my day).
