Question
I just got my ball drilled and i was wandering if it is normal for a bowling balls thumb to be off center from the two fingerholes? please help

Answer
Jon,
To answer what is normal, drilling a grip must reflect many things. Length of your fingers/thumb, distance from thumb to fingers, flexibility, texture, moist or dry, etc. all contribute to how the grip is. There is no normal, just what fits you.

The holes in relationship to the label or other markings might also give the look of a hole that's askew. If the ball is comfortable in your hand, if you need little or no grip pressure, if you roll the ball well, it fits don't worry about what it looks like.

Thanks for the question.
