Thumb Inserts (required)

Our Bowlerstore.com Pro Shops offer several different ways to drill your thumb hole. For an optimal fit, we recommend that you send us your bowling ball that feels the best to you. We can then create a custom mold of your thumb hole that we can use to create a thumb slug that will feel identical to the thumb hole on your favorite ball. If you have not had to work out your thumb much, then just the standard thumb insert will work great as well. We also utilize High End Mill/Drill machines to match up and drill oval holes if desired.
