Product Description
The Innovative Pitch Gauge – Green (Fingers) is a small, color‑coded gauge designed specifically to measure pitch in bowling ball finger or small thumb holes. Precisely manufactured at Innovative Bowling’s Pennsylvania factory, this green gauge features a scale graduated to 1/16", allowing drillers to read forward, reverse and side pitch with fine accuracy when checking or duplicating finger layouts.
Sized for standard finger holes, the green gauge fits easily over finger inserts and into drilled openings, making it ideal for diagnosing fit issues such as excessive forward or reverse pitch, lateral imbalances, or drilling inconsistencies between balls. Its dedicated finger‑hole size complements Innovative’s black thumb and purple interchangeable‑thumb gauges, or the full three‑piece pitch gauge set, giving pro shops and advanced bowlers a complete pitch‑measurement solution.
Used by professional drillers and serious bowlers, the Innovative green finger gauge helps ensure consistent spans and pitches across an arsenal, improving grip comfort, release, and repeatability from ball to ball. Whether you’re building new equipment, checking an old favorite for reference, or troubleshooting finger pain, this gauge is a key tool in precision bowling ball fitting.
