Pinky finger hole?
« on: October 21, 2014, 03:17:52 AM »
Has anybody had success adding a hole for the pinky finger. I have been having a bit of trouble holding on to the ball due to tennis elbow and aging a bit. I added a hole to an old ball to try it and felt pretty good. Just a little extra support and not much change in ball motion. I didn't have any trouble getting used to it.

I added one to my ball.  My Father-In-Law came to visit us from Honolulu and we went to Pro-Shop looking for a used ball.  The shop owner has severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, even has a service dog, but still bowls.  He had my FIL try his personal ball that featured a pinky hole and was 14 lbs, he was using my 15 lbs ball to let the Shop owner watch his swing.  Anyhow, My FIL asked if he could buy the owners ball from him and he did sell it.  Obviously I had to try the ball too after that and I then realized having a pinky hole felt more comfortable and natural to me too, so I added one to all my bowling balls after that.

when i was a kid bowling in the 80's, ive so many balls with pinky holes. Then these holes slowy went away......I thought I'd never see one as an adult, but 7 or 8 years ago a bowler at leagues had a ball with a pinky hole. He still bowls today....
