    Default Power Sleeve

    What do you all think of the High 5 Gear Power Sleeve?

    There's a saying in the fishing world, some tackle is designed to catch fisherman instead of fish. I don't know if this is necessarily meant to catch bowlers instead of results but it seems unnecessary at first view. Perhaps it helps with muscle soreness but I'd also challenge that with stretching, hydration, proper technique, etc. Worst case, it's a $25 fashion statement

    It looks like the same thing basketball players wear. If thats the case then it does nothing more than keep your arm warm

    Just another gadget, helping make Belmo some pocket change. LOL

    well the power sleeve is for when your bowling and your arm starts sweating then it slid's down your hand and makes it hard to hold the ball so the power sleeve stops that by absorbing the sweating from your arm just like one of those sweat band thing that you put on your arm i'm thinking of maby getting one of these but one that will match my USBC shirt.

    I don't have hot, ultra bright tv cameras on me when I bowl.

    Looks like some kind of compression sleeve. Runners use them on their legs, so why not bowlers using them on their arms?

    I live in Florida and it get's really, really hot here in the summer, even with the ac on in the bowling center and I can tell you I'd need a body sleeve not an arm sleeve to bowl a lot of games. Sorry still not convinced. LOL

    I don't think there's any benefit to it at all aside from looking fancy. Then again I've never used it so I could be wrong.
