mini-moan: give it a good squeeze.

Balls can be tricky things, sometimes you need to grab hold of one but can't get a good grip. That's the problem with round things, and the bigger they are the harder it is to maintain purchase.
So that's why Bowling Balls have holes in them, once you stick your fingers in a hole (or three) things become much easier, but sometimes the holes are too big and your fingers just flop around with no sensation, or too small which means you can get your fingers in just fine but trying to get them out can lead to all manner of trouble.
It always annoys me massively when Bowling alleys, who's only job is to ensure people throw balls at sticks, completely fail on the hole front. My nearest Bowlplex have the worst holes I've ever stuck my fingers into, some of the holes in the balls are so small that you'd practically need a microscope to see them, were it not for my fingers becoming rather jammed I'd have thought they'd forgotten to drill any, so you end up going for a ball that is too large and cumbersome, clinging onto it like Wil Wheaton trying to hold onto his last shred dignity.
I just wish I could find a couple of balls that feel comfortable in my hands.
