Question
i bought a new ball last year and had it drilled closely matching my old ball. the hole sizes stayed the same as the old one. it was great at first but now the holes are too big MOST of the time. this has led to ball drops and just holding too tight. I've used the tape and that helps some but it feels too big for the 2 fingers even then. is there anything else i can do?

Answer
If the ball is drilled with a conventional grip, you would need to slug or plug the holes and redrill them to make them smaller.  If it is a fingertip grip, you can add inserts if you dont already use them, or replace them if they are just too large.
