New Balls and Old Holes

I got a new Bowling Ball for Christmas. I say new, when actually it is used but it really doesn't matter. I love it! It is a Brunswick Raging Inferno. I read some reviews about it, they weren't raving but they weren't bad. I know a lot of people prefer Storm or Amf and I actually own a Angle Evolution,which it is great for dry line conditions. Unfortunately, where I Bowl the lines are medium to heavy oil,which forced me to get a different Bowling ball for the hook I wanted.

Now about the holes, I didn't have a problem with the distance between them. In fact it fit almost perfect, like it was meant to be. The problem was that who ever had it before me was bigger than I am. Which meant they made the hole too big for me. I practically had to go from side to side just to feel it. Not to worry though I took it to someone I know and he put an insert in it. An insert is a piece of solid plastic which is glued in where the old hole used to be and then it is drilled to fit.

Now it is tight but not too tight and the more I use it the looser it will become. The best thing is when I come back to it,it feels tight again. How cool is that? It's not that the hole shrinks it's just that when I first start playing with it I'm a little swollen. Most people after they start playing their thumb swells more. Not so with me the more I play the more the swelling goes down.

After a while it's a perfect fit. It's like I could go all day and all night. Which is good because we all know how much I love to play with my Balls. The truth is and the tip, if you have to change your balls, measure your old hole and use it on your new balls. Because let's face it a good hole is hard to find.

Happy Bowling!
