There are not holes in the ball because the ball is small enough.. to uh.. cup... comfortably in your hand... FYI "big ball" 10 pin bowling balls come undrilled when you buy them new. The pro shop drills the holes for you to match your hand spread and type of ball thrown (i.e. fingertip/hook vs traditional) *shrug* i just went bowling last weekend can ya tell? rampy |

One of my intentions early on in my MAMEing these controls was to re configure one of them to work with my greatest garage saling treasure ever: an undrilled 1965 Brunswick "Black Beauty" 16 pounder. I no longer intend to ruin either of these mechanisms for that, but I do have my metals-shop taking nephew looking into fabricating one the appropriate size. If that reaches fruition, I'll fully document and post the URL here. |

You buy the ball, then get the holes drilled specifically to your hand size and method of holding the ball. Of course, $$$$. Bowling alleys sometimes buy batches of lower quality pre-drilled balls, too. Not sure about were we can get them, though. (ie: cheap to the public) |
