thumb insert loose

[tru-dell]

when I bowl my first 2 or 3 games the ball falls out of my thumb insert ,but after 3rd game it feels good, should I use tape or redo thumb insert tighter ?

you can add a piece of white tape in the thumb hole and then when ur thumb starts to swell, you can remove the tape. that's what i do when i bowl.

The thumb insert comes out? The insert?

What I want to know is, how in the hell did you get your ball inside your thumb insert? LOL.

im pretty sure he meant his thumb slips out of the ball.

thanks Angelo that's what I meant,I put new inserts on my old turbo x for the first time , and I told the proshop guy it felt to tight around my thumb without bowling a game ,so i had him open the thumb more and on my first throw i knew I made a mistake

if it's too loose, you can try Ron Clifton's Magic Carpet and place it behind your thumb where your knuckle is. I have Magic Carpet on one side and white tape on the other side of the thumb hole, and when my thumb swells i just remove the white tape.

That makes more sense. I was trying to figure out how the insert was coming out. Black tape on the back of the thumb, white tape on the front. The flat edge goes facing down.
