Welcome to The Bowling Addict

I designed this website with the goal of creating an up-to-date listing of bowling websites. Check out the links section to view all of the bowling website categories. I scour the web frequently for bowling websites and I'm always adding new ones. If you find a great bowling website, or run one yourself, please leave me a comment and I'll add it. This site also serves as my personal bowling blog which I'll update every so often.

Vacu-Inserts

When I recently purchased my Storm Sure Fire, I decided to try out vacu-inserts. I've always had problems with my fingers being too loose in the inserts at times. I would have to slow down my swing so that I could get good leverage on the ball without it falling out too early. The verdict; I should have used vacu-inserts a long time ago. I ended up having my spare ball converted over too. Here's some good info on vacu-inserts:

You can use the vise vacu-insert sleves as shown in the picture below.

Or drill the insert holes with two different sized bits as shown below.

Here's a drilling guide from Turbo 2-N-1 Grips:

Create a Vacuum Grip with this Simple Drill Technique.
NOTE: Please read instructions fully before drilling. For Tech Support call: 1-888-2N1-GRIP.

1. Use 1 1/32" drill bit. Hole should be 1/16" larger than the recommended insert o.d.
2. Drill hole 1" deep.
3. Replace 1 1/32" drill bit with 31/32" or recommended insert outside diameter (for stronger vacuum use smaller drill bit i.e. 61/64 for
   standard outside diameter insert)
4. Drill hole the full depth of insert (Quad inserts 1 3/4", Standard 2-N-1 1 3/8")
5. You have now created a cone at the bottom of the hole.
6. Install finger insert. Glue bottom of grip into smaller hole. When creating a vacuum grip you must use at least 2 sizes smaller than standard finger tip size. Grip will expand to fit inside hole diameter.
7. Apply adhesive (Turbo Ultra Zip recommended) to the front of hole, between finger insert and bowling ball. ONLY apply glue to the front wall.

Here's a video from Brunsnick on how to drill a ball for vacu-inserts:
