is there a bunch of different plugging materials for all the different ball types? or do you just use the same stuff to fill polyester, urethane, pearl reactive, solid reactive etc?
Is there a limit of how many times you can plug and drill new holes. I have a friend who's aunt gave me a ball and it looks like it was filled and drilled.
@@MichaelWingfield-ot6zbdepends on where you go, one local pro shop told me 25, another told me 10, and someone else said they don’t even do it, so just call in and ask.
idk if you still respond but got a question on plugging when you drill the thumb slightly bigger is that for cosmetic or is it necesaary to do? also is it done to the fingers holes as well or just thumb? thanks
for context my dad works at a bowling ally for years teaching me the drilling way not saying hes the best at it but learning from his experience hes not the best at plugging i can plug easily i use the same motivwhats necessary or just cosmetic cause i been plugging my stuff older stuff for span changes and layouts for next year bowling season been testing storm vls 2.0 system but dont wanna do it on a brand new ball so plugging old stuff but dont wanna take extra steps unless have to aka saving time
what is your price range for doing this? i may have a used ball coming my way and will need to plug and redrill to fit my hand. just wondering. my local center charges $50 to drill a new ball. not sure what they do for this.
@@vontreherumaiBH No I had a thumb issue and they plugged it and rrdrilled it and made it must better Resurfacing just gets the surface back to were it was when new Cost way cheaper then a new ball
You're kidding me That drill press is the exact model I learned to drill on...unbelievable. Just for shits and giggles, you by chance didn't purchase one from Western Mass?

How do you figure your layout? I noticed you have a sheet showing the different ones.
The sheets used to come in every ball box. They should be available on each brands website now.

I had this done a few times let's no forget they can resurface also
Does it change it drastically till where it’s not worth it or what ?

How much does this cost to do?
Right now it's $30 a hole and that includes the re-drill

Haha nope. I got it from ebay from a guy near St. Louis back around 2007
Haha me too. I worked at a sporting goods store in the 80sand used that machine
