Question
Is there any points that can be noticed to know if an axis hole is needed to be drilled into the bowling ball? I own 6 an none of them have one, if added how much of a difference can i expect? What can i do to increase my rev rate and how can i find out how many revs i produce when i bowl? thank you

Answer
An axis hole is mainly to change weights for more or less reaction or to change break point in a ball that is already drilled.If a ball just doesn't do well for you & you have changed surfaces a number of times, you might conceder an axis hole.
To increase revs,you might shine up that ultra dull ball,extend your follow thru,gently squeeze your fingertips into your palm at release,higher backswing,armswing a bit later in timing on approachif grips on fingers are loose,tighten them up!
As for counting revs,don't worry about them. If the ball hits & gets strikes,what ever many revs you are gettingthere working.The # count of revs really do not mean much.You get what you can get without forcing them. If forced, they WON'T WORK!MESS WITH SURFACES.
TRY SOME OF THESE & LET ME KNOW
