The Original
GripLoc Products LLC has developed and manufactured the first patented Urethane Interchangeable Thumb Assembly for the bowling industry. GripLoc requires no hardware for installation nor any tools for changing the thumb insert. GripLoc's unique features give bowlers the needed control when it counts most.
Improve Your Game With GripLoc
GripLoc's unique features offer the bowler a set of removable grips that the bowler slides in, pushes down, turns and LOCKS into place within the outer sleeve. As the bowler's thumb swells and/or shrinks, a larger and/or smaller grip size can be installed by removing the old grip and inserting a new grip within seconds.
The GripLoc insert will allow changing of grips between games or even between frames, improving the fit of the ball to the hand. As a result, the bowler's score will improve, ensuring a proper fit at all times.
The outer sleeve is made of a material that is strong, but can be trimmed if necessary after being installed. The inner sleeve is urethane, 75 durometer hardness and is superior to the current solid urethane slugs being sold by several distributors in today's market.

Located in the suburbs of Michigan, GripLoc Products LLC was formed in 2002 after a year-long testing period of the quick-change interchangeable thumb insert developed by Todd Graskewicz (Inventor) and the assistance of a major bowling company. The Inventor’s focus was to come up with a product that would help people who share the common problem of the hand swelling or shrinking due to unrelated issues (weather, weight gain/loss, etc). A proper sized bowling ball, especially the thumb hole, will give you the consistent release required to roll those high games.
GripLoc Products was first showcased to a domestic and international audience at the 2003 Bowling Expo in Las Vegas. GripLoc demonstrated how easily the outer sleeve can be installed into a ball, as well how the inner sleeve can be quickly changed to another size within seconds. The response to GripLoc’s product was overwhelming! GripLoc continues to showcase worldwide at various bowling tournaments, industry shows, and private demonstrations.
With GripLoc’s product success in Las Vegas, GripLoc’s product provided the bowling industry the first patented urethane interchangeable thumb inserts that required NO hardware for installation, nor any type of tools for changing the insert, making it quick and easy for the pro shops as well as the consumer.
