# Conventional Fitting

# Anatomy of a Conventional Fit

### Key principles

1. Fingers are inserted into the second joint
2. Thumb is seeded all the way into the bowling ball, up to the base of the thumb
3. Good beginning grip
4. Lower revolution rate at point of release
5. Ball reaction is smaller and allows the bowler to focus on other aspects of their physical game

# Step-by-step guide

### Following these steps will ensure a proper fit

1. Warm up the hand, massage/bowl
2. Measure the MIDDLE FINGER
3. Measure the THUMB FLEXIBILITY
4. Measure FINGER and THUMB hole sizes

---

### Constants to fill out on the spec sheet

- Before starting the measurement, you can already write down some data on your spec sheet. 
    1. Bowler Hand (Left or Right)
    2. Bridge of 3/8
    3. Lateral Pitches of 1/4 (middle) and 5/8 (ring)
    4. Ring Finger measurement will always be +1/8 from the span measured on the next step.

---

### Mark the bowler's hand with a pen

1. Mark the MIDDLE FINGER 
    - Find and mark the bending point of the SECOND joint.
    - Measure 3/8 under the joint, draw a line.
    - Use this line for your measurement.

### Using the fitting tools

- BT Ball Fitter
- Innovative Fitting Ball <span style="background-color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">**Prendre un photo avec le bal fitter pour montrer where to measure ??**</span>

---

### Evaluate the flexibility of the thumb.

The bowler's hand must be relaxed.

- Pull back on the thumb to measure flexibility.
- Follow the chart provided for the correct pitch based on span/flexibility

**<span style="background-color: rgb(224, 62, 45);"> ***give a link to the chart ??*** </span>**

---

### Complete your Fitting Sheet

- **Finger Pitches**

1. Use the same pitches as what's in the thumb. **Ex: Span: 3 <sup>1/2</sup>, flexibility: 120<span class="TextRun SCXW122060619 BCX0" data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW122060619 BCX0">° = 3/8 forward</span></span>**

- **Hole Sizes**

\- Select a hole size that... Fingers easily passes through up to but not including second joint **<span style="background-color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">même chose pour le pouce ?</span>**

**Not sure ?** When in doubt, reduce the hole by 1-64 inch. You can always enlarge the holes.

### Constants to fill out on the spec sheet

- Before starting the measurement, you can already write down some data on your spec sheet.

1. 1. Bowler Hand (Left or Right)
    2. Bridge between the fingers = 1/4
    3. Lateral pitches: 3/8 (middle finger) and 1/2 (ring finger)
    4. 5/16's rule

### Mark the bowler's hand with a pen

1. Mark the MIDDLE FINGER 
    - Find and mark the bending point of the FIRST joint.
    - Find and mark the bending point of the SECOND joint.
    - Measure the distance between both lines.
    - Divide that distance in half.
    - Draw a line.
    - Use this line with your fitting tools.

 **Pitch what you see! 3/4 or more is very possible and sometimes required**

### Evaluate the thumb flexibility

The bowler's hand must be relaxed.

- Pull back on the thumb to measure the flexibility
- Follow the chart provided for the correct pitch based on span/flexibility

<span style="background-color: rgb(224, 62, 45);">***give a link to the chart ??***</span>

[![image.png](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/d3Kimage.png) ](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/d3Kimage.png)[![image.png](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/Wcdimage.png)](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/Wcdimage.png)

[ ](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/d3Kimage.png)

**You might modify pitch for the following reasons:**

**-A longer thumb (Over 2 5/8'')**

- - Add 1/16 - 1/8'' reverse

**- A shorter thumb (Under 2'')**

- - Subtract 1/16 - 1/8'' reverse

**- Very moist skin**

- - Add 1/16 - 1/8'' reverse

**- Extremely dry skin**

- - Subtract 1/16 - 1/8'' reverse

**- If the bowler uses excessive grip pressure**

- - Check hole sizes to determine if they are too large

---

### Recap of measurements

##### FINGERS:

- Check finger flex.
- For 80+% of your clients use REVERSE pitch only.
- ALWAYS REMEMBER TO COMPENSATE FOR GRIPS.
- Write down pitch on spec sheet to avoid confusion. [![image.png](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/scaled-1680-/74Qimage.png)](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-02/74Qimage.png)

##### THUMB:

- Refer to thumb pitch chart.
- No lateral pitch for beginner/novice bowlers


#### **Choosing Ball Weight:**

 Choosing the correct ball weight is crucial for first time and novice bowlers. Improper weight can make a comfortable grip uncomfortable.

- If the bowler is using a house ball comfortably for one game, and then gets tired... The same weight as the house ball, when fitted properly, should be fine
- If the bowler uses a house ball for three games with little to no problem, two pounds heavier than the house ball with a proper fit, should be fine
- For Junior bowlers; 10% of their body weight + 2 pounds as a maximum. You could also do same weight as their age to one pound less than their age will be fine
- Always let the customer test out the weight of the ball before drilling, to confirm the choice ( put undrilled ball in a see-saw) [![POWERPNT_3gm7USLynL.png](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/powerpnt-3gm7uslynl.png)](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/powerpnt-3gm7uslynl.png)

#### **Checking the Hand**

Your customers hand will not always be perfect, the importance of checking for the unusual cannot be overstated.

Possible modifications are necessary for:

- Arthritic joints
- Tendinitis
- Sensitive nerve or tendon
- Pain, soreness or swelling
- Callus, pathological callus
- Missing fingers [![POWERPNT_2iGq4tSKng.png](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/powerpnt-2igq4tskng.png)](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/powerpnt-2igq4tskng.png)

#### **Fitting Checklist:**

- Determine and record hole sizes and shape
- Determine flexibility of the hand
- Measure and record the span
- Determine and record vertical thumb pitch [![POWERPNT_0Sxi5itFRC.png](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/scaled-1680-/powerpnt-0sxi5itfrc.png)](https://wiki.spectrebowling.com/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/powerpnt-0sxi5itfrc.png)

**MEASURE THUMB AND FINGERS HOLE SIZE:**

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;">-FINGERS</span></span>

. Check using grips

. Grip should be slide in with slight restriction. Once inside hole, it will contract slightly.

. Indicate OD size

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">-THUMBS</span>

. If round , aim small and work with tool.

.If oval, consult chart.

. Measure base of thumb for taper.
