Place the ball into a tight clamp to ensure that it does not move during drilling. If the ball moves during drilling, the holes may come out uneven, making the ball uncomfortable to use or difficult to control. With an erasable marker or piece of chalk, mark the hole configuration, placing a mark at the center of the spot you plan to drill each hole. Use your span measurement to assure the holes will be properly placed. When bowling balls are molded, they are suspended by a small rod that, when removed, leaves a hole that must be filled in. This is called the "pin." You should avoid drilling through the pin, as this may void your warranty and negatively affect the ball's performance. Make sure your nearest hole is at least an inch away from the pin. The pin should be easy to locate. It is usually a different color than the rest of the ball. For advanced ball drillers, the pin is used to determine properties of the bowling ball's core that can be used to determine the ideal location on the ball to drill finger holes, depending on the qualities you want the ball to have. This will vary from one model of ball to the next, so if you want to try this, you should consult the instructions that came with your ball. It's a good idea to double check your marks against your span measurements before drilling. Once the holes are drilled, they are permanent. Determine the correctly sized drill bits to create comfortable holes for your thumb and fingers. You can determine this easily if you used a sizing ball to get your hand measurements, as these balls also provide information on your thumb and finger widths. If you did not have the benefit of a sizing ball, a good way to determine this is to experiment with different bits, drilling holes of different sizes into a block of wood and then determining which ones most comfortably fits your thumb and fingers. Prepare your bowling ball drill with the proper bit for your thumb width. It is strongly recommended that you use a bowling ball drill. Attempting this with an ordinary drill may damage your ball. Drill the hole slowly at your desired angle, checking the depth often so as not to drill too deep. Swap out the drill bit and drill the two finger holes. As with the thumb hole, check the depths often to avoid drilling too deep. Replace the drill bit with a sanding attachment and sand the interior of the holes until they are smooth and our fingers slide in and out easily and comfortably.

Q: Most of the time, you can search an online encyclopedia by entering search terms in a search box on the main page. Pick something that seems to embody your topic to get the most relevant results. For instance, to research the Civil War, you might enter "American Civil War." Refine your search as needed. For instance, you might have to change "American Civil War" to "U.S. Civil War." You can search within a specific site using Google's search box. This method can be helpful if the site doesn't have a search box, or it doesn't seem to be returning relevant results. Start with your search terms, followed by a space and "site:" followed by the name of the site. Google will only turn up results from that encyclopedia site. For instance, if you want to search for the Civil War on encyclopedia.com, you'd type "Civil War site:encyclopedia.com." You can also find information by simply browsing, if the encyclopedia is set up for that function. To browse, look for the list of broader subjects, and narrow down to a topic that is relevant to what you want to research. For instance, if you're interested in the Civil War, start with "History" in a general encyclopedia. From there, you might click "American History" and then "Civil War."
A: Use the site's search box. Try Google's search box. Browse by subject.
