Bowling history and techniques 2.

When your houseball fits, remember the serial number to find it again. These balls usually have the weight of the ball stamped near the serial number.
If you need to doublecheck the proper fit of the ball, lift the ball off the rack and let it hang by your side. In case the finger span is appropriate(distance between the thumb and finger holes), you are able to insert a pencil under the thumb and fingers of the hand, holding the ball. You should also note, that the span for the ring finger should always be one-eighth of the inch, longer than the span for the middle finger.
Another consideration checking is the proper fit of the size of thumb and finger holes. When friction is minimal, the ball fits the thumb properly. You are able to check it by inserting your thumb into the hole and rotate it clockwise and counter clockwise.
