It's the super glue. It affects some bowling balls more than others. A notorious one was Storm's Core Power LRG, the material the ball was constructed of was especially susceptible to being broken down by the super glue. Superglue is essentially a solvent that melts two surfaces together and with certain bowling ball materials it actually breaks it down from the inside out. The inserts themselves don't do anything to the holes. If you were to simply put them in there, you would never see any kind of degrading simply from the inserts being in the holes.

From my past experience, and i have only been drilling balls for a few years now for only myself, is that its because the manufacturer insists holes not be drilled within a certain distance apart. The finger holes usually have to be drilled within that spec when dealing with inserts cause of the size of the hole…Correct me if i wrong anyone that knows better

I have had several balls crack out around the finger holes which have inserts in them. The ball manufacture would not warrant the ball due to the inserts being in the ball, why would anyone use inserts knowing the manufacturers are taking this approach. Why do the inserts cause the balls to crack out around the finger holes?

Hey guys another great video always wonder what the switch grips were all about now im excited about getting one for my balls. I did have one question about bowling styles how would someone be considered a "cranker" "stroker" "tweener" ect… Always wanted to know why people call me a "cranker" because i thought crankers where ones who only used 2 fingers in the ball. Thanks Agian And keep up the GREAT VIDEOS
