Get the same great feel in every ball you own with Switch Grip Interchangeable Inserts.
This revolutionary two-piece insert assembly allows bowlers to remove and interchange thumb inserts from one ball to another for the same fit and feel every shot. No more fussing and fighting installing and removing tape. With just a simple "Twist & Click", bowlers can make a ball change using the same thumb or better yet change thumb size due to shrinking or swelling. Bowl with confidence. Switch Grip™ will help you repeat shots no matter what ball you use.

Who's Using Switch Grip?
Switch Grip™ is USBC and PBA Approved. It is used by many of the top PBA professionals today, including PBA Tour and International Champion, Mika Koivuniemi. Through continued improvement, Switch Grip™ is now the leading interchangeable thumb insert on the market and is sold in over 12 countries. It is also the official thumb insert of the Hammer Sneak Peak and Storm Showcase programs.

Product Features:
• Inner Urethane or Xcel Thumb Solid

New Try Before You Buy Package
Would you spend $400 on a new golf driver if you didn't have the opportunity to hit a few golf balls and get a feel for its performance? Probably not. So why do we expect our bowling consumers to spend $250 for a new bowling ball they have never thrown? For the rst time ever, pro shops have the ability to let customers "Try Before They Buy". It's a tremendous service benet that can earn huge returns with little added cost.

Do you belong to a ball program which allows you one sample ball of every new ball released? Rather than taking the ball out of the box and putting it on a display shelf or drilling it for yourself, equip it with Switch Grip. Provided you are currently offering Switch Grip and have the required 1 1/2" drill bit, you will layout the ball with a medium/semi-universal span (4-4 1/2") and install an Outer Sleeve. Finger holes should be drilled smaller than the standard 31/32 insert o.d., i.e. 61/64 or 15/16 so that nger inserts can be slipped into holes without glue.

You will also need to create a set of Inner Sleeve inserts in an assortment of sizes. Our "Try Before You Buy" Package includes a set of 18 Inner Sleeves all pre-stamped with the size on the outside, a storage/display rack (16.25" x 8.25"), Switch A Roo, and Try Before You Buy Poster. *Pro shop will be required to drill each Inner Sleeve as size indicates and cut down as instructed in regular Switch Grip installation.

And you're off and running! We guarantee the more opportunities you have to put a new bowling ball into the hands of your customer, the more opportunities you will have to make a sale. The next time a bowler steps through your front door and asks, "what's new?", slip in a pair of nger inserts and a Switch Grip Inner Sleeve and let them see for themselves. Now that's service!
