    30 years ago when I worked in a pro shop, we had a few retirees that we drilled claw grips for. If you didn't get the pitches right, especially lateral pitches, it was very uncomfortable.

  • @jessnicholascenterfireecon8382

    I've used a pinky finger hole for 20+ years. Helped take a bit of strain off the wrist and distribute the ball weight more evenly. I also have drilled balls with all 5 fingers in it before, but the addition of the index finger does two things: It causes you to go more up the back of the ball, and it also raises the track which, with the addition of another hole left of the middle finger, is a recipe for track thump. If you're going to add these in the future, there's a technique for drilling them; the pinky finger typically should be aligned on a 20-degree angle down from the center of the ring finger hole, and the index finger on about the same path down from the middle. The holes must then be rotated so that the pitches mimic the bowler's natural hand-closing method (typically means the pinky is turned clockwise 20 degrees, whereas the index can stay at about 10 -- but that will vary by bowler). The fact this ball had a conventional thumb probably made the pitch differences in the index and pinky feel worse. Using a pinky finger hole is sort of an analog to tucking the pinky, which doesn't hurt revs ... but adding the index to me always cut the rev rate a bit. The index also made it harder to make wrist position changes on the fly.

    My Wife and I are both using 5 finger - finger tip grips. Age and Illness weakens ones grip. I have both urethane and reactive balls drilled this way. As a 50 year bowling coach I've had a number of students over the years that needed help holding the ball and did not want to go down to too light of a ball. It works well. A relaxed grip is helpful. The positioning of the pointing finger influences the ball track. I prefer it closer to the middle finger than would be expected. It allows me to have more control over various hand releases. I'm no longer a scratch bowler, but still enjoy the game and appreciate the exercise that it gives me.

Didn't bowl a 600 series that I was hopeful about, but happy to have bowled higher than a 209. You guys inspire me and so many other people who want to get better at bowling.

    @burnoutrct22 Před 2 lety +2

    My brother did this with a plastic ball close to a decade ago, and we found out that throwing with the pinkie finger in makes flat-handing at corner pins a lot easier. Keeps you from going around the ball as much and keep the wrist flatter. I've been using spare balls with a pinkie finger hole ever since. It's kind of irrelevant now that I've learned how to properly flat-hand at spares, but it gives me a bit more control and stability over just using the ring & middle fingers.
    Downside is that with the rule change in 2019, you have to use the extra finger holes at all times. That prevents me from throwing a hook with my spare ball (say for a 3-6-7-10) or using a urethane as a spare ball to keep one in my bag at all times.

    • @jvmiller1995

    When I first started bowling (when I was 6) I actually used my index and middle finger. I just assumed those were the fingers you used. Bowled my entire first year like that. Somehow never paid enough attention to everyone else bowling with different fingers than me. My Dad also watched me bowl like that the whole year, didn't say a word. (He had been bowling for 25+ years at that point so one would think he'd correct me pretty quickly...nope. I'm convinced he let me continue doing it as a joke to himself, lol)

      The index finger still hurts when used all 4 fingers. Said the revs were virtually the same using the pinky in addition to the regular finger holes. But there was less strain on the hand and will allow for more throwing power. He tended to throw more strikes with Index, Middle, and Pinky.

    There’s an old head that used to drill balls at a local alley, and he is now retired and plays in my league. He said he couldn’t throw a bowling ball anymore since he started with a 16lb and bowled that for 40 years or so. He showed me he got all his fingers drilled in, and says he can now throw 10games a day and not feel as much as 3 holes did after 2 games.
