Drilling an index finger hole !!

[Tampabaybob]

I am thinking about adding an index finger hole to my ball, due to the fact that I have pretty bad arthritis in my hand. Are there any members out there who use this type of grip?

A couple of seasons ago I shot a summer league and must have pulled a tendon in my ring finger. It hurt like hell and of course, not bowling, is not an option. I had seen the ads for steel fingers for years and never gave it much of a thought. Finally decided to try it. For 20 bucks, it's one of the best remedies you can find. Within 2-3 weeks, the pain was gone. I continued wearing it for a few months then finally put it in my bag. I have loaned it to others in my league and they've all bought them after trying it. I can't recommend it more highly....here's the link to their web site. http://www.steelfingers.com/

By the way I'm a senior that's been bowling for over 50 years and the arthritis is creeping into my body as well, so I know what you're feeling. It's worth a try and cheap at that. Try one and let me know if it helps.

Thank you for the suggestion Bob. I was looking at the Mongoose Lifter, but the Steelfingers Plus might be just what I am looking for.

Bill, You are going to need steel fingers, a steel wrist, a steel elbow, steel knees, and a steel back, for your Guinness record attempt. Good luck to you.

I have a buddy that has used one for years. It doesn't change much other than the ball definitely feels lighter in your hand.

I have seen one person do this before for the same reason. he ended doing away with the idea because it put more pressue on his hand and made the pain worse.
