Bowling Wrist support/gloves

[billf]

I use grip tape around my fingers when my arthritis makes it too painful to bear. It helps but does not completely get rid of it. You should also have a pro shop double check your span and pitch. A good driller can alter span and pitch to help alleviate pain.

You could use the same glove Pete Webber does....a golf glove. However you may need to open up the holes to accomodate the added thickness of the glove, which are pretty thin but still may need to.

I used to use a golf glove when bowling a long time before Pete Webber started using one
hmmm......maybe he copped it from me yes you would have to open the holes up a little
bit to use the glove but not a lot.

Did it support the fingers at all? It would seem that a golf glove would be too thin and has no reinforcement to be very supportive.

Nope no support for the fingers or any kind of reinforcement it is just for more or less a consistent feel
on the ball and a more consistent feel between different bowling balls.

That's what I assumed but figured it didn't hurt to ask. I've been debating trying the golf glove to help with the callouses on the pads of my finger tips and the knuckle of my thumb. The thumb would be alright if I would just stop grabbing the ball with my thumb.

As for the finger pads, might want to check your grip. Too tight of inserts can cause it, also Too much forward pitch.

The grips in my spare ball were too tight. I changed them last week. I wanted a tighter feel but going down a size was too much.

I use a Turbo 2N1 Bulldog wrist support. I developed a bad habit of breaking my wrist back on my release. Lucy Sandelin suggested I try it when I won lesson time with her, and I've used it since. There's a blade type thing that keeps my hand in place that I can remove for spares. http://www.bowlingball.com/products/...html?lf=search I don't use the palm strap, though.

This is the wrist support I use at the moment Brunswick Powerkoil XF as for the
callouses on the pads of your finger tips I had the same problem recently. I went
up 1 size on my grips and the problem went away. I was just like you I wanted a
tighter feel on the grips but it was a tad bit to tight for me.
