Question: How do I get a fingertip grip drilled on my bowling ball?

Answer:

Take your new reactive bowling ball to a pro shop for a professional fitting. They will measure your hand for a longer span, drill the finger holes shallower (to stop at the first knuckle), and usually install soft removable finger inserts plus a thumb slug. Always test the grip before the final drilling is completed. This ensures comfort, consistency, and prevents blisters or inconsistent release.
