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 between the fingers = 1/4
    3. Lateral pitches: 3/8 and 1/2
    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.

5/16's rule

This rule is used to find the measurement of the RING finger.​

  1. Find and mark the FIRST joint of the RING FINGER​

  2. Slightly cup the client’s hand, similar to the curvature of a bowling ball.​

  3. Draw a line from the FIRST joint of the MIDDLE FINGER onto the RING FINGER​

  4. Measure the distance between both lines on the RING FINGER.​

  5. Use the following equation:​  Measurement from #4 is hereby designated X.​  ---  5/16 – X = +/- distance of the RING FINGER​

​Ex #1 : If X (distance between both lines on the ring finger.)is 7/16​  --- 5/16 – 7/16 = -1/8​

The span of the RING FINGER is 1/8 shorter than the span of ​the MIDDLE FINGER.​

​Ex #2: If X is 1/8​  ---  5/16 – 1/8 = 3/16​

The span of the RING FINGER is 3/16 longer than the span of ​ the MIDDLE FINGER.​
