I just had this put in 4 balls and for the first time I have the exact same
feeling in all the balls. Anyone else have these?

I've been using them for 5 years a have 5 ball with them installed. None
have ever broken. The glue on one did separate, I just had it reglued.
I did have one ball that they couldn't be installed in, a Columbia
Messenger BSP Titanium Pearl, the dense Ceramic titanium core can't be
drilled & the sleeve goes deeper than a normal thumb hole. I have 4
different sizes & don't have to worry about trying to pull 1 piece of
tape & winding up with 2 or 3 pieces & the trying to put several back.

So far I have 3 different sizes. Still playing with 2 to get the proper fit
when my thumb swells.

Just an addition to what's already been entered: I know a lad who has
these installed in his gear. He actually ** LOST AN INSERT ** in the
pit when its' securing ears suddenly broke (the locking sleeve stayed
in the ball). Other than that, he swears by them.
Just a suggestion: get ** THREE ** of the inserts drilled for you as
follows.
* One insert for your "normal-sized" thumb
* One insert for when your thumb EXPANDS
* One insert for when your thumb SHRINKS
Happy bowling, etc. :)

Yup. I need a 3rd after last night. My thumb usually shrinks while bowling.
Last night it expanded a little. Not quite enough for the big slug, but too
tight for the "normal" slug.

No, tell us about them. How do they work? How long have you been using them?
What do they cost?....etc.

It consists of 2 pieces. The thumb slug and the sleeve section that goes in
the ball. The thumb slug has locking tabs on the bottom that engage the
sleeve and lock in place. I have 2 slugs. One is slightly smaller than the
other so when my thumb swells I pop the small one out and go with the larger
one. The great thing is the feel from ball to ball doesn't change. The cost
for the slug was $18.00. The sleeve was $12.00. I've got $48 in sleeves (4
balls so far) and $36 for the thumbs.
