Rule 12 – Approaches Must Not Be Defaced
The application of any foreign substance on any part of the approach that detracts from the possibility
of other players having normal conditions is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, talcum
powder, pumice and resin on shoes, and/or soft rubber soles or heels that rub off on the approach.
Talcum powder is commonly referred to as baby powder.
This is actually an interesting topic, based on above, even the products made by ball company's to be used on shoes potentially violate the rule, i would think the products designed for bowling would be a better option than baby powder, but that's just speculation. personally, since i got my sst 8's i have had 0 issues with sliding, i clean my slide sole with a wire brush rather often, but don't use any other products.
what does everyone else think about this?
