    I actually laughed out loud at this. I never think about how weird they are because I accept them and never see the finger pointing model, but you're right they are ridiculous with that finger. They cost like 60.00 too.

    Yup, just standard compression for muscle warmth and to prevent soreness. Overkill for 99% of us, but if you wanna look all Tier 1, knock yourself out.

    I wear them when I trail run....but that's serious muscle movement going on. My arms aren't doing much when I bowl. In fact, I do everything I can to minimize bicep and forearm manipulation of the swing.

    I have been wearing a sleeve on my bowling arm for a bit now. I dont care what people think it looks like. It really does help.
    Last season I tore the muscle in my forearm bowling and this year I am hoping for that not to happen. But it really does
    help with pain. Also, I have noticed that my arm does not get tired during the long format tournaments. Its nice when I can bowl 10 plus games and not lose any power in my swing.

    I'm still looking into those magnetic bracelets. Anybody got them on sale?

    It looks like a simple compression sleeve. It would help if you do have a bit of soreness in your elbow. I wear a tennis elbow strap occasionally when I get bowler's elbow. Usually the injury is a sign that I'm muscling the ball instead of letting it fall.

    Swingset said Tier 1...hilarious. I would think that ball players wear that stuff either to look cool or to prevent burns if they hit the floor. I got a lot bigger problems with my game than getting an arm sleeve...I guess. LOL Plus the guys on my tam would harass me to no end!!

    Default I think I know and JASON/The Dude came up with it!!!

    I think I know,,,, He showed me something he came up with that might change bowing as we know it!! A COOL invention that he thought up and has made a prototype of! He wants me, and a few others to try it out, and then maybe put it in some pro shops and see what happens!! I can’t say what it is at this time, due to the fact someone might steal this idea, that could be “ The NEXT BIG IDEA” in bowling equipment!!
