Every Hand Is Different
Roger does not subscribe to the old outdated generic ball drilling charts that DO NOT take a bowlers unique hand structure into considerationService is His Game
Roger's goal is to provide his bowling customers with the absolute best service possible. He DOES NOT just sell his customers a bowling ball, but he makes sure the bowling ball is drilled specifically for the bowlers style of play and that they are fitted with the absolute best grip.Bowling Equipment Featured

Rated
The BEST
Ultimate IT System
The Ultimate IT System is just like the Everready Bunny, it just keeps going and going and going!
The unique Ultimate locking system is built to last.
Four locking tabs provide stability and a solid fit that does not move once locked in place.
Installation is a dream. Drill the hole and glue it in. No mess. No having to enlarge the hole to get the insert to slide in easily.
Turbo Switch Grip
The Turbo Switch Grip is a good system and easy to install.
The biggest issue he real issue is that the inner and outer sleeve are just too flexible. Sooner or later that shows as a thumb that has a lot of play or simply does not lock firmly at at all.
The simple “Twist & Click” makes changing thumbs faster, as it is with the Ultimate System, but Ultimate's superior construction, the nod for the best goes to The Ultimate IT System.
