As anyone used these? I think they are a great idea and am considering them. My thumb is shaped weird and hard to duplicate......my driller takes about 1/2 hour to do one of my thumbs and even then it does not always feel the same. Just looking for some feedback........thanks.

It's the best thing I've ever done, I could never get 2 balls to feel the same and when I bowl 100+ games a week, I need that.
Switch Grip helped my hand a lot. I've converted quite a few people over to it and they have never been happier.

Use Exactacator on the thumb that feels best and then you make can make carbon copies in the form of urethane thumb inserts.

I have tried Turbo's, but I like Griplocs product a lot more..Easier to work out, install, and slightly cheaper. They are available online @ www.griplocproducts.com Hope this helps..either way a same feeling thumb when changing from ball to ball is amazing, and the ability to increase or decrease size without tape is a great advantage....Alzgarvin

i have used the mold products Nick is talking about, and for me switch grip is far better, for a number of reasons
you can have more than one sized thumb hole
the molds are never exactly the same due to it being a chemical reaction that make the urethane, therefore a bit more of one of the components means a different material(feel)
This is just what i have found in my experience

I actually use a combination of both products. I know of a couple of people that do this. It is also nice to just have to drill a ball, install the ring and grips and be able to take it to someone knowing that you don't have to do the thumb blind.
