Question
in the mid-1960's i was drilled a balck beauty ball with a sarge easter grip.  i would like to drill one like it....can you help with the specs.  all i remember is tip on the middle finger and conventional on the ring....but have no record of the finger pitches   thanks

Answer
David,
The object of the Sarge Easter is to cut down on the side turn or axis rotation. You roll the ball more forward.

The pitches should reflect normal pitches for each finger (what pitch for the middle and thumb) will allow the ball to let go of you?

Ring finger pitch should reflect comfort for the length. You may want to play with the ring, because loss of flexibility and desire to effect your rev rate migh influence what you decide. Good luck with the drilling let me know how the ball works?

Thanks for the question.
