Bowling/Insterts

Question
was wondering if you can put inserts into a ball that has a conventional grip to make it more comfortable, or just use tape?

Answer
I am not sure if they still make the inserts for conventional fitted balls.  Even if they do, I would not suggest them as they can cause you to hang up in the ball.  They make tape and corks for finger holes that are best used with a conventional grip.  If those do not help, then I would suggest you plug the holes and have them drilled smaller.

Good luck,
Chip
