[@maxxemker972]

Thank you for making this video, as I’m just starting to learn how to drill!

[@itsthe4seaons]

Love the video! Spent time with my PSO this season figuring out my benchmark layouts for my symmetrical (4x4x4 or if i want more length 4x5x4) and asymmetrical balls (5 1/4x4 1/2x3).

[@BooyaCS]

I learned how to drill from my PSO. It is interesting to see all the different ways people put spans on the ball etc.

[@timscott178]

great video - awesome seeing how they do what they do

[@ForrestKritzer]

Thank you Tim!😎

[@johnlogiudice4415]

This is a great informative video on layouts and drilling. As someone who used to drill bowling balls I love seeing this. Great point on people needing to know their PAP too...A+++++

[@howardlambert9552]

do a video on your steps, would help plenty

[@JosiahMMA]

Thank you forest. Been trying to figure this out a while!

[@ForrestKritzer]

You’re welcome!

[@eatngobstoppers215]

Really interesting to see how that works. It looks like it would be fun to get a ball and drill it a bunch of different ways. Not to the extent that 220 does it lol but fun to watch!

[@evgrin1507]

If the employee working at your local bowling alley pro shop doesn’t have a mullet like this guys, don’t trust a word he says.

[@ripvanrevs]

Wayne Webb was the master of the mullet on the PBA back in the day. I just bowled a tourney at Wayne Webb's in Columbus, Ohio.

[@xswt1]

He bowls 300

[@jroc1856]

Mine doesn't have a mullet and he knows his stuff

[@hersheyskwertz9315]

Dude shaved his hair fairly recently too 😂

[@evgrin1507]

That’s a real shame, but fair. I can only imagine the amount of Poonani that thing garnered him..

[@donaldcummings8407]

yessiree , ball drilling sure got sophisticated over the years..Back in the Dark Ages(early 70's) Finger holes above the logo( if there was one) thumb hole below and off we went!! Good stuff,Forrest!!

[@ForrestKritzer]

Thank you Donald! Yes the times have changed for sure

[@R91vsDriver]

cool video. lots of info.

[@rebootnut]

I've been really interested in switching to a JoPo thumb, and now I know where to go. Thanks!

[@chrishenze5284]

You will not regret it.

[@waynetobey6589]

Great video

[@thebigeasy8609]

Cool stuff

[@georgeguinea9359]

Hey Forrest great video!!! When Aaron was at Harvest Bowl he drilled all my balls. He is very good. Now that he is at Granada I just call him with a ball I want and he drinks it perfectly. I come to pick it up and it fits like a glove!!!! Great informational video!!!

[@garfieldmudcat]

when i was drilling balls for the center i worked in, we did thumb first also

[@memorosales7135]

love that guy

[@melodicchronic5181]

I just started bowling, so I'm new to all these concepts. My most recent ball I had drilled, they drilled directly into the pin. I thought it was strange. What does that mean? Is that a good thing, or a mistake by the pro shop?

[@lockedonlaw]

Every ball comes with a drill sheet but pro shops usually remove them from the box.

[@jenniferboone-sz1lo]

Hey everybody, give Forrest a 👍for his awesome videos.....💘

[@ForrestKritzer]

Yeah what she said!😎

[@KingHimself717]

You guys really know how to drill

[@ForrestKritzer]

We specialize in drilling😏

[@joepalmer9877]

Michael "avg220bowler" taught me how to drill a ball already. Heading for the nearest rollercoaster park with a drill...LOL All my ball where drilled incorrectly, buy new and start over. Great info on drilling. Get your PAP

[@ForrestKritzer]

Lmao! Yes your PAP is VERY important

[@jenniferboone-sz1lo]

I'd hurt myself (runs)🤣 Hi Forrest

[@ForrestKritzer]

Lol hi Jennifer😃

[@christianbrooks7214]

Was the measurement from the thumb hole to fingers based on the cut to cut or full span? I'm guessing full span since he was measuring off of the outer sleeve of the jopo and hit the line versus using the thumb size to line up the bit and then using the 1 1/2 to go over it.

[@walterccrawford5613]

This is a question not a comment. I’ve been trying to get an opinion on a drilling and trying to find a PSO who might have an answer. Most everyone is familiar with Rico layouts. Since you can’t use weight holes anymore and it is said cg location doesn’t matter that much as long as you are under 3 ozs , what effect would placing the cg in the upper right hand quadrant have as opposed to the standard lower right hand quadrant? Needless to say I am right handed. I’d like to try this on a solid and a pearl that have short pins. Any thoughts?

[@squidly2112]

That's GREAT! .. now convince my wife that I can buy another bowling ball !! 🤣

How am I supposed to transport all these tools on a ski lift and where would I plug them in?

[@l.lboogie7049]

I do have a question? Why are finger holes so deep when you have finger drill. Why not drill to knuckles only

[@will_koerner]

what if you have a 600+ rev rate?

[@lenacomer148]

Nice

[@ForrestKritzer]

😃

[@steverada1133]

Do you always use grtp inserts? Why or why not. Thanks

[@ForrestKritzer]

Yes I do. They are best for comfort and grip on the ball

[@1976axerhand]

I had to drive 3 hrs to find someone who knew how to drill a ball. Xd where i live the moron drilled my ball as if i was a Lefty and iam a righty. Lol

[@Yodaman329]

I know him. Where was this taped?

[@stormb28]

I’m 4 3/4 straight across for my pap

[@hrsey71]

how do they figure out the finger/thumb pitches? ive had 2 balls drilled and they never asked what my PAP was (because i didnt know) and didnt try to find my PAP

[@ForrestKritzer]

For pitches, it’s a preference thing. If you are having pain in a certain area on your hand, they can adjust the pitches accordingly. I would ask your ball driller if he can measure your pap. If he says no, I would get a new ball driller.

When’s the next regional for you ??

He didn't explain anything he was thinking everyone was understanding his language!!!

[@wildgoobsid5]

The tech seems to be a full of himself knob. He drills bowling balls for a living.

[@Lee-zf3xp]

wait....drilling without completely securing the ball down??

[@bosoares]

it uses vacuum to hold the ball down

[@ForrestKritzer]

Yes you are correct

[@thomasrowell6207]

😂

[@flippperboy]

You should learn to drill your stuff Forrest.

[@MrOsmodeus]

those duo's are the least pearl looking ball i've ever seen that wasn't a solid

[@justsorandom764]

This video was complete bullshit. I had my suspicions, then you said the way 220 does it with with spade bits and a drill is the wrong way. Then I absolutely knew it!

[@MegaEpicGamingGuy]

what you mean

[@dbonnie24]

This guy made drilling a Ball very confusing and made zero sense!!!
