The cost of professional bowling ball drilling services typically ranges from $30 to $70, depending on the complexity of the drilling and the pro shop’s location. This service includes measuring the bowler’s hand and grip, marking the ball, and using a specialized drill to create the finger and thumb holes. Some pro shops may charge extra for custom fitting or intricate drilling patterns. A one-time drilling charge generally covers all necessary measurements and adjustments for a comfortable and consistent release.
A precisely drilled ball is paramount for achieving optimal performance and preventing injury. Properly fitted finger and thumb holes ensure a secure yet comfortable grip, allowing for a consistent release and increased control over ball trajectory. This reduces the risk of blisters, sore muscles, and more serious injuries like tendinitis or carpal tunnel syndrome. Historically, bowlers often relied on standardized ball sizes and generic drilling layouts, which limited their ability to refine their game. The evolution of custom fitting and drilling has revolutionized the sport, enabling bowlers of all skill levels to maximize their potential.
