johncongdon — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 12:36:24 +0000

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.

Thank you to our sponsor 900 Global!

Talk Bowling – #0007 – Vise vs Turbo, Vacuum Grip

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.

Use 1 1/32″ drill bit. Hole should be 1/16″ larger than the recommended insert o.d.
Drill hole 1″ deep.
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)
Drill hole the full depth of insert (Quad inserts 1 3/4″, Standard 2-N-1 1 3/8″)
You have now created a cone at the bottom of the hole.
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.
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.
