The cost of custom-fitting a bowling ball involves drilling finger holes and a thumb hole to match a bowler’s hand. This process typically includes measuring the bowler’s hand span, finger pitches, thumb size, and other relevant dimensions to ensure a comfortable and effective grip. Prices can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the drilling, the pro shop’s location, and any additional services like plugging and redrilling existing holes.
A precisely drilled ball is fundamental to consistent performance and injury prevention. An improper fit can lead to inconsistent releases, reduced accuracy, and potential wrist or hand problems. Historically, bowling balls were simpler and often drilled with generic layouts. The evolution of ball technology and a deeper understanding of bowling biomechanics have emphasized the crucial role of custom fitting. This personalized approach maximizes ball control and optimizes a bowler’s natural delivery style.
