Bowling Ball Drilling

Buying your own ball is easier when it arrives ready for recreational play. Discount Bowling Supply offers standard conventional bowling ball drilling for eligible balls in this collection. This option is designed for beginners, kids, and casual bowlers who want a simple fit based on standard measurements rather than a custom pro-shop layout.

Choose your ball and add the bowling ball drilling service to your order. You can have your bowling ball drilled in one of five standard sizes, from Extra Small through Extra Large, depending on your hand measurement.

How Standard Conventional Drilling Works

Standard conventional drilling uses average span and hole sizes. All three holes, including both finger holes and the thumb hole, are drilled. This service does not include finger inserts, thumb slugs, or custom drilling layouts intended to create hook. Because the fit is standardized, minor hole-size adjustments may be needed after the ball arrives.

To choose a size, measure from the crease at the base of your wrist to the tip of your middle finger, then compare that measurement with the site's drilling chart. If your measurement falls between two standard spans, Discount Bowling Supply recommends choosing the smaller option.

This straightforward bowling ball drilling service is especially useful if you are ordering a first ball or shopping for a recreational bowler. Pair it with a bowling ball for beginners if you want an easy starting point for building a personal setup.

Choose an Eligible Ball and Get Ready to Bowl

Not every ball is available for drilling, so shop the eligible products in this collection. Discount Bowling Supply will contact you if drilling is unavailable for the ball you select. Please allow an extra 1-2 business days for your ball to be drilled and shipped.

Once you have your ball drilled, it generally cannot be returned. The fit is also not guaranteed with standard bowling ball drilling, so this service is intended for recreational use rather than bowlers who need precise custom measurements.

Complete your order with bowling equipment and accessories for league night or casual games. Discount Bowling Supply is family-owned and offers free shipping on orders over $30. Shop now to get your setup ready for the lanes.

FAQ

What Is Conventional Bowling Ball Drilling?

Conventional drilling places two finger holes and a thumb hole in the ball using a standard span and hole-size combination. Discount Bowling Supply offers five standard size choices instead of fully customized measurements.

Who Is This Bowling Ball Drilling Service For?

It is intended for recreational and beginner-level bowlers, including people ordering their first ball or buying a ball for a child. Bowlers who need finger inserts, thumb slugs, or a customized layout should visit a local pro shop.

How Do I Choose My Drilling Size?

Measure from the crease at the base of your wrist to the tip of your middle finger and compare the result with the sizing chart. If your measurement falls between two listed spans, Discount Bowling Supply recommends choosing the smaller size.

Can I Have a Bowling Ball Drilled and Return It Later?

Drilled bowling balls generally cannot be returned. Discount Bowling Supply's drilling policy notes an exception for manufacturer defects, and drilling charges are not reimbursable.
