Talk Bowling

We recently released an article on How to Curve a Bowling Ball on bowlingball.com and noticed that it generated a little conversation in our comments.  So we decided to do a Talk Nowling episode all about it.  We tried to give a few more examples than we have in the past.  We hope this helps.

900 Global Bounty Hunter

900 Global puts out The Bounty Hunter for top bowlers and Pro Shops around the country! That’s right, $50,000 dollars cash, bucks, smackers,clams, greenbacks, dinero, coin, moolah, or whatever term it is you like. The fact is it’s up for grabs. Here’s how it works…

*Shoot a USBC sanctioned 300 game with the Bounty and receive a cut of the $50,000. Pro Shops that drill a Bounty for a bowler that shoots 300 will also receive a share of the $50,000.
What’s the catch? NONE!

This week, TalkBowling anwers a couple of viewer questions.

1. Where should I put the pin for most hook on a Storm Virtual Gravity.
2. What does it mean when a ball is reactive 2″-3″?
3. Which do the three of us prefer, Roto Grip Cell, Storm Virtual Gravity, or the Storm Dimension?

All this and more on TalkBowling Episode #0013.

Have you wondered if there is a difference between Turbo and Vise grips?  Have you heard of the Vacuum Grip?  We will cover these questions asked by viewers like you.

Details for Vacuum Grip Installation (from Turbo 2-n-1 Grips):

Vacuum Grip
Best uses for Vacu fit: Bowlers who suffer from swelling or may be in between sizes.

Create a Vacuum Grip with this Simple Drill Technique.
NOTE: Please read instructions fully before drilling. For Tech Support call: 1-888-2N1-GRIP.

1. Use 1 1/32″ drill bit. Hole should be 1/16″ larger than the recommended insert o.d.
2. Drill hole 1″ deep.
3. Replace 1 1/32″ drill bit with 31/32″ or recommended insert outside diameter (for stronger vacuum use smaller drill bit i.e. 61/64 for
   standard outside diameter insert)
4. Drill hole the full depth of insert (Quad inserts 1 3/4″, Standard 2-N-1 1 3/8″)
5. You have now created a cone at the bottom of the hole.
6. Install finger insert. Glue bottom of grip into smaller hole. When creating a vacuum grip you must use at least 2 sizes smaller than standard finger tip size. Grip will expand to fit inside hole diameter.
7. Apply adhesive (Turbo Zip Plus-45 recommended) to the front of hole, between finger insert and bowling ball. ONLY apply glue to the front wall.
