How To Drill a Bowling Ball!

[@kyleb5169]

Great video Mikey. I would recommend explaining a but is what these mean. Like PAP, buffer, pin, etc...

[@garybryant19]

This one was great Mikey. I always wanted to learn how to do this.

[@plaidanemone6168]

My dad told me to watch a video on drilling a bowling ball and that it's a science. I can see he was not kidding. That was cool to watch also.

[@ND-jz7yk]

Cool to see the serious side of Mikey! Very informative, great content.

[@shorty808100]

I need one of those jigs to hold the ball so I can drill my own equipment now that they made bias holes illegal, I got a lot of bias holes to plug as well I haven’t bowled in a while

keep it up mike, excellent job

[@reyngel]

Great vid, Mikey! Love your content. 👊🏻 Keep em coming!

[@Blue-cq2hl]

This is pretty similar to my standard layout lol. Wish I could get an altered though but looks like I missed out on that one.

[@jenniferlynn6616]

Hey Mikey loved this vid and I love all your vids! And your super hilarious to watch and your very educational to watch love it! ❤️😁

I am a lefty and speed dominate and my arsenal as of now is 3 Sarge Easter grip a hammer statement solid, Brunswick classic black quantum and a old black storm spare ball that is dark gold looking and i have have a IQ tour solid at one inch off my pap , a hyroad x pin under my middle finger, a IQ tour emerald , gold honey badger, and a zero gravity. I know how the zero gravity will be drilled but not sure on the emerald amd honey badger because i bowl on old wood lanes with broken down lane oil and when my hyroad x states checking up too fast i can go to the emerald. Any suggestions welcome.

Congratulations to Mrs Mary Tang and to Mr,Tang aswell.

I haven't bowled in years. I see many bowlers with AWAY pitches in the fingers. Mine were either 0 or a little under. What is the purpose of away pitches in the fingers? Also, I've seen many dropped ring finger drillings. What is that purpose? Ty

[@jimmychau3934]

Mikey, how deep do you drill down for no thum 2 handers? By depleting the mass, it will increase the diff on the ball so I'm curious to see if you keep it at no more than 2 inches or gamble and drill closer to 3 or 3 1/2 inches. Want to make sure the ball shapes consistently. Thank you.

[@tvbowlingsupply]

With the 2LS system, you can manipulate the diff by changing the pin to center of grip distance. I drill all two handers standard grip depth unless requested otherwise.

[@jimmychau3934]

@TV Bowling Supply Hi Mike! Can you clarify if this is true? Strong ball weak layout and weak ball strong layout? I normally have the majority drilled either benchmark or short pin controlled low flare. I am trying to maximize the benefits of each ball I have. Thank you! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@tvbowlingsupply]

@@jimmychau3934 not sure what your question is, but if you use similar layouts on different balls, it’ll let you see the differences in the balls better

[@itsthe4seaons]

What's your thought on having your flare lines over the logo of the ball? ie the AlterReality logo on that ball in the video.

[@tvbowlingsupply]

More hook?🤷🏼‍♂️

[@itsthe4seaons]

@@tvbowlingsupply Thank you for taking the time to reply. I was just wondering. So thank you!!

[@kellycoffey2801]

Drum roll………… how’d she bowl with it?

[@dangitZIN]

For a modern release and modern grip, do you recommend forward thumb pitches? I have 2 balls over the past 10 years but my PSO has both fingers and thumbs reversed. Even with tape, I feel like the ball just wants to fall off my hand.

[@tvbowlingsupply]

If you feel like you can’t hang on to the ball, definitely try going more forward in the thumb!

[@dangitZIN]

@@tvbowlingsupply thanks for replying! Currently 1/4” reversed. So actually forward pitched or just a little more forward than this?

[@tvbowlingsupply]

@@dangitZIN depends on a lot of things like your span, length of your actual thumb. Would be hard for me to give you an exact number. Experimenting is always required!

[@dangitZIN]

@@tvbowlingsupply Ok. Make sense. I’ve talked to my PSO to make a small pitch change and I’ll go from there. Thank you!

[@joshg218]

Beveling the holes helps the cover not crack. Some people like very little bevel.

[@flippperboy]

Good video Sifu. Is the 1/4” really that critical and could you just go over laterally from the PAP to the center grip and disregard the 1/4”. That’s is me being lazy to drill a ball up quick....

[@tvbowlingsupply]

You could but it changes the layout

[@flippperboy]

Sifu, show me the way you hit your lines... I’m watching as I comment😁 also, with the slight change of layout could you see a difference in ball reaction out on the lanes?

[@tvbowlingsupply]

@@flippperboy just do the double check method and you can’t miss👍🏼

[@flippperboy]

@@tvbowlingsupply Thank you Sifu *BOW* 😌

[@3ndstufe]

I know this video is up a while, but maybe someone can enlighten me: Is the 'midspan' just half of the overall span? I just can't seem to find where the center of grip on the hand is. I googled for literally two hours and could not find any answers. ... please? :D

[@rickseneris]

Aren't you suppose to clamp the ball down during the drilling process?

[@michaelferrer2006]

i just recently switched to an IT and i find it hella difficult to change from different slugs.. is it because of the residue left from drilling an IT hole? are there some techniques that i can minimize the difficulty of taking out and putting in different slugs. thank you!!

[@tvbowlingsupply]

Vise IT or the Turbo Switch Grip?

[@michaelferrer2006]

@@tvbowlingsupply thanks for replying brotha, i'll check those out!

[@tvbowlingsupply]

@@michaelferrer2006 I was asking which of the interchangeable system you currently have lol

[@michaelferrer2006]

[@tvbowlingsupply]

@@michaelferrer2006 the core could be swelling, causing the slug to feel tight in the hole. That or the base was no installed straight

Lots of math 🧮 ! Angle, degree, width 🤔😎

How to drill a bowling ball ... I always use a drill bit. You mean there's another way?
