Would you use the NU Blue hammer on the first game instead of later?

I felt it is not strong but goes further down the lane which I like

Good stuff. I just had inserts put in. They're a little too deep. The inside edge of the drilled portion of the ball has an edge on it. How do I put a bevel on the fingertip holes without removing the inserts?

What was this oil pattern and was it on fresh, transition, or the burn?

How would this compare to a hustle camo? Good combo?

My pro shop left the grips sticking out so high, it was really annoying me. This is perfect, got them flush. Thank you!

Can you do this process with lift grips/pillows?

I use nail polish remover and a qtip after trimming and it worked amazingly

How does the Yellowjacket Tank compare to the NU Blue?

Can you tell me what kind or size of razor blade that is? I'm having a hard time find something like that. Thank you.

I have problems getting my grips flush because I have alot of reverse pitch. I used to just try and force it and it never worked right. After watching this video, I couldn't wait to try doing it this way. It worked great and I'll never do it any other way again. I love how it turned out.

Really great info here. I may start drilling my own balls soon on the drill press, so this is very helpful.

Great vid. I was looking at this ball for dry lanes.

man, motiv has been lacking this type of ball for quite some time. something that gets down the lane and responds quick off the back. really keen on this piece!

What kind of glue should I use to install inserts

good tip.

On that 2LS layout, what is that layout meant to do? I noticed it has a lot of snap on the backend and hooks pretty quick.

Great Review, guy rolling a ball...

Put in the title that this is 2 handed so us 1 handers don't open the video.. thanks

Thank you!!!!

Great tip! Love these type of tips content

Exotic Gem is far and away my favorite ball out currently. I agree it scares the heck out of the 10 pin, but I am leaving quite a few 9’s. Good trade though. Nice review.

What pitches do you use?

I love this. It’s been a problem for me for a while no and I think this solved it!

This is amazing. I am blown away by how good the finished product looks. I have always hated cutting grips and just dealt with distorting them by forcing them in and gluing. Of course I just recently changed to not using grips at all, so I can’t even try this anymore, but I still appreciate that such a technique exists.

Excellent video thank you for sharing your techniques.

Why would you cut the grip just put upper side in first then glue that side then pull up the other side and glue its easier

I need to try this on my ball. very cool.

Great tip. I just butchered my inserts today so hopefully I can smooth them out with some acetone.

I wac using the same cutting method but without the ball cleaner and acetone. Genius ! Thanks ! Can the acetone alone be enough for the inside part of the grips in case we don't have a surgical type blade ?

omg, can't wait to try this. I've done similar steps but not quite the same and never had the results you're showing. I hate how my inserts either stick out of the ball or I'm left with jagged and sharp edges. This might be just what I needed. Thanks

Nice technique, but I have a question for you. Are you using the xacto knife on the inside edge of the grip where your finger goes, or on the outside edge of the grip where it touches the ball? It's hard to tell from the camera angle. Thanks.

Very cool! I will practice this on my old ball

What exact blade part#/ name? Thanks.

Do you have a technique for the clear vise grips? They seem to be really tough to cut smooth.

Fantastic attention to detail. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. The biggest issue that I have in regards to inserts is; I use vise semi-power-lift inserts. Trimming them removes part of the "lift" portion of the grip. It seems as though the options are: let then stick out a bit and hope that no one notices, or, insert them deep enough so that they don't stick out, or, stop using power-lift inserts. What would you recommend?

Awesome !! Thank you for this.. can't wait to try it
