Product Description
The Innovative Pitch Gauge Set (3 Pieces) provides professional‑grade accuracy for measuring bowling ball hole pitches in any pro shop or advanced home setup. Each gauge is precisely manufactured at Innovative Bowling’s Pennsylvania factory and features scales graduated to 1/16", allowing drillers to read forward, reverse and side pitch on thumb, finger and interchangeable thumb holes with confidence.
This complete three‑piece set includes individual gauges sized for standard thumb holes, finger holes, and large interchangeable thumb systems such as VISE IT, Turbo Switch Grip and JoPo Twist. Spring‑loaded measuring arms allow the gauges to fit a wide range of hole diameters and depths while maintaining a firm, consistent reference, making it easy to diagnose fit problems, duplicate favorite layouts, or verify pitches before and after plug work.
Used by pro shop operators and serious bowlers, Innovative pitch gauges help define issues like excessive forward or reverse pitch, lateral pitch imbalances, and drilling inconsistencies so you can adjust spans and pitches for optimal comfort and release. When paired with proper span charts and drilling tools, this 3‑piece set becomes a key part of any precision drilling toolkit.
Innovative Pitch Gauge Set FAQ
What is included in the Innovative Pitch Gauge Set (3 Pieces)?
The set includes three separate pitch gauges: one for standard thumb holes, one for finger or small thumb holes, and one sized for larger holes used in interchangeable thumb systems like VISE IT, Turbo Switch Grip and JoPo Twist.
How precise are the Innovative pitch gauges?
Each gauge features scales graduated in 1/16" increments, allowing drillers to read forward, reverse and side pitch with fine resolution when checking existing layouts or setting up new drilling patterns.
Can these gauges measure all hole sizes and depths?
Yes. The spring‑loaded design enables the gauges to fit a wide range of hole diameters and depths, making the 3‑piece set suitable for standard finger and thumb holes as well as deeper interchangeable thumb sleeves.
Who typically uses the Innovative Pitch Gauge Set?
These gauges are commonly used by professional pro shop operators, coaches, and advanced bowlers who need to verify or replicate exact pitches from ball to ball. They are also helpful when troubleshooting fit issues or correcting drilling inconsistencies.
How do pitch gauges help improve ball fit and performance?
Pitch gauges allow you to see the exact forward, reverse and lateral pitches drilled into each hole. By comparing those measurements to a bowler’s fit specs and comfort feedback, drillers can adjust pitches to improve grip pressure, release, and consistency, which can translate into more repeatable shots and reduced strain on the hand and wrist
Are Innovative pitch gauges available individually?
GebhardtsBowling.com sells individual pitch gauges (such as the black standard thumb gauge) as well as full sets. The 3‑piece set is ideal for shops that need complete coverage of fingers, thumbs and interchangeable thumb systems in one package
