10-finger bandits -- T-shirt!

[@rocketsurgeon11]

Brad doing a bit for Keeps was GOLD! LMAO! Back in the day (mid '90's) I knew a guy that had a ball drilled for 3 fingers and the thumb. He didn't bring it out often, but he did throw it.

[@jessnicholascenterfireecon8382]

I've used a pinky finger hole for 20+ years. Helped take a bit of strain off the wrist and distribute the ball weight more evenly. I also have drilled balls with all 5 fingers in it before, but the addition of the index finger does two things: It causes you to go more up the back of the ball, and it also raises the track which, with the addition of another hole left of the middle finger, is a recipe for track thump. If you're going to add these in the future, there's a technique for drilling them; the pinky finger typically should be aligned on a 20-degree angle down from the center of the ring finger hole, and the index finger on about the same path down from the middle. The holes must then be rotated so that the pitches mimic the bowler's natural hand-closing method (typically means the pinky is turned clockwise 20 degrees, whereas the index can stay at about 10 -- but that will vary by bowler). The fact this ball had a conventional thumb probably made the pitch differences in the index and pinky feel worse. Using a pinky finger hole is sort of an analog to tucking the pinky, which doesn't hurt revs ... but adding the index to me always cut the rev rate a bit. The index also made it harder to make wrist position changes on the fly.

[@daverosinski3663]

I like the "thump, thump, thump" as it rolls over the holes. Sounds like it has a flat spot.

[@robertdybas]

My Wife and I are both using 5 finger - finger tip grips. Age and Illness weakens ones grip. I have both urethane and reactive balls drilled this way. As a 50 year bowling coach I've had a number of students over the years that needed help holding the ball and did not want to go down to too light of a ball. It works well. A relaxed grip is helpful. The positioning of the pointing finger influences the ball track. I prefer it closer to the middle finger than would be expected. It allows me to have more control over various hand releases. I'm no longer a scratch bowler, but still enjoy the game and appreciate the exercise that it gives me.

[@jasongollihugh6196]

Since we all know this ball is never getting used again this would make a really good giveaway once you reach your next subscription goal! Autographs and "whole hand challenge" sounds about right! Just a suggestion! Btw the new tshirts somewhat match the color scheme of the gem lol!

[@yoshiidaeh]

When I first started bowling (when I was 6) I actually used my index and middle finger. I just assumed those were the fingers you used. Bowled my entire first year like that. Somehow never paid enough attention to everyone else bowling with different fingers than me. My Dad also watched me bowl like that the whole year, didn't say a word. (He had been bowling for 25+ years at that point so one would think he'd correct me pretty quickly...nope. I'm convinced he let me continue doing it as a joke to himself, lol)

[@bmhedgehog2]

There's a bit of Thunder in the Building. That ball is definitely a holy roller.

[@kristenanderson5273]

You guys must have been inspired by Packy, lol. Also, just wanted to say...(and sorry to sound like a broken record), but I bowled my highest game last night, a 224!!! I choked in the 9th frame and missed a 7 pin, but other than that, I was confident of where to stand on the approach and what mark to hit. Didn't bowl a 600 series that I was hopeful about, but happy to have bowled higher than a 209. You guys inspire me and so many other people who want to get better at bowling. Keep doing what you guys do. I think I'm gonna go buy one of those shirts, heeheehee. :)

I just went to your channel and watched a couple of your practice shots from January. Id like to suggest taking a slightly smaller first step and also slowing your feet down a little. Your first 2 steps should be slow and precise; Or do just 1 or the other. - good luck lady

It's been about having that common common setup of bowling ball and how to keeping it a good set up at full time

[@burnoutrct22]

My brother did this with a plastic ball close to a decade ago, and we found out that throwing with the pinkie finger in makes flat-handing at corner pins a lot easier. Keeps you from going around the ball as much and keep the wrist flatter. I've been using spare balls with a pinkie finger hole ever since. It's kind of irrelevant now that I've learned how to properly flat-hand at spares, but it gives me a bit more control and stability over just using the ring & middle fingers. Downside is that with the rule change in 2019, you have to use the extra finger holes at all times. That prevents me from throwing a hook with my spare ball (say for a 3-6-7-10) or using a urethane as a spare ball to keep one in my bag at all times.

[@jvmiller1995]

I use to throw my ten pin with my fingers shifted. I would put my pinky and ring finger instead. It makes you push the ball more so it does not hook near as much.

[@mylesw2424]

Average 220 Bowler did this with some awesome results …. but i think he made the finger holes larger so they came out easier….

To alleviate the pressure you should have the extra two fingers drilled at their normal angle, ie.. not 90 degrees and perpendicular, but more angled

[@bowlnow824]

The index finger still hurts when used all 4 fingers. Said the revs were virtually the same using the pinky in addition to the regular finger holes. But there was less strain on the hand and will allow for more throwing power. He tended to throw more strikes with Index, Middle, and Pinky.
