I've lost almost 15 lbs. in 13 days - I still have 60 lbs to go.  (gained 105 lbs in 18 years)

I lost that firm/snug fit in my finger inserts and I'm adding tapes to the thumb. Inserts may need to be replaced soon.

My questions are....

Do spans change in length as someone gets lighter or heavier?

Also, during the process of weight loss, will it affect my physical game? I know lifting heavy weights can...




(Note: Low Cal Diet of 1200-1500 a day. No hunger headaches and I'm not hungry eating 6 times a day. Each meal or shake is between 50-300 calories. I going back to my training days when I had to make weight. My workout: walking my Doberman and bowling. No soda, No mocha, but I have to have my bourbon.)

Congrats on the weight loss.  I imagine your overall fit will change.  But incrementally not too much.  I can see retooling a couple times a year but not so often it becomes a logistical hindrance.  I would probably recommend keeping a lot of various sized inserts in the event you need a quick size adjustment.

Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks man..

I still have new turbo (just in case) inserts that didn't fit the last two years which are still in my bag. They prolly fit now.

I'll have to be aware of the physical things in my game as time goes by.

It's good to know about the span. Thanks guys...

over the last two years or so, my thumb hole/size went up two sizes. I'm pretty sure then, I'll have them replaced in the future.

(The NFL guys behind the mic/TV finally convince me to try Nutrisystem. This stuff works, lost another 2.5 lbs this week. and I feel great.)

BF, you can do it! Weight gain and weight lose is more in the mind than in the stomach. Just like bowling, more mental than physical.

my weight gain altered my game a lot. I've gained an 1" with my "personal number" at release hahaa. I'm very slowing getting a few things back. Mostly, it was my swing.

I lost 40 Lbs. this past off season I had to down size my grips and my Thumbs hole was huge.  I had to use a lot of tape and it felt awkward. So my ball driller talked me into the I.T. thumb holes we made a few sizes .  so if I lost more weight I would have something that would fit. I also tried the Vacu-grips and I like the Vacu-grips if I swell or if my hand is cold the grips fit.

Keep losing I am still working on more weight loss

just my .02

your .02 was worth every penny. thanks for the reply and congrats on the -40lbs. 

I always wondered about those vacu-grip. Can't you drill a the bottom of the hole a tad smaller instead of buying the vise vacu-grip thing?

The regular hole size is 31/32. For Vacu-grips, use 1-1/32 at the top and 31/32 for the bottom 1/4" or so. Some prefer to use 61/64 at the bottom.

oh it's reverse than what I had thought lol makes more sense.... so you start with the larger bit first, then full depth with the 31 bit...?

Or you can drill the entire hole 1 1/32" and glue about the front 1/3, of the grip, leaving the open space at the back.  --  JohnP
