Thread: What do you wear to bowl comfortably?

    I wear drywick top and lightwieght khanki pants tournaments and men's leagues. I also wear bowling tshirts in mixed league.

    I watched some navy guys do push-ups for the low score each frame. Funny thing I don't live near anything navy.

    Also a creature of habit, khaki work pants, collared knit shirt with a pocket for league. For practice its sometimes a pocket T-shirt. For coaching I often wear a camp shirt with either old pick-up trucks or old cars.

    Well I'm really a nerd on that whole if I look like a professional maybe I'll bowl that little bit better, intimidate who I'm bowling against, or impress some chick thats watching (and isn't going to notice I'm shooting 90 in the 8th lol). So I wear some golf shirts I got at work on clearance, khakis, and this hammer hat I got (mostly so I stop looking at the pins instead of my target).

    I like that last part there.. I used to wear a ball cap for the same reason; to focus my eyes on my mark, rather than the pins.

    I find that my team mates are more comfortable when I wear clothing...

    I wear slacks now with a polo shirt for league. Makes it easy as I don't have too much time between work and bowling. I haven't noticed much of a difference between slack or jeans, but at least I look more professional than the rest of the guys!
    Equipment:
    Motiv: Forza, Forza Redine, Venom Shock, Tag
    Storm: Sky Rocket
    Track 100P Spare Ball

    To be drilled: Motiv Jackal

    I cannottt bowl in jeans or cargo pants so I wear shorts to league and slacks to tournaments but last night i decided to wear slacks and a polo shirt and I shot 682 which is much better than usual for that house.. I figured I bowl much better in slacks in tournaments I try it for league and I like the results so far.

    Some years ago I showed up for league wearing a suit and tie, as I didn't have time to change after going to my wife's office's dinner outing at a nice restaurant. The anchor of the opposing team showed up, also in suit and tie. He happened to be a car salesman and had to work late that day. We both bowled very well that night.

    Shorts, always shorts. I bowl in shorts, I work in shorts, I play softball, and football in shorts no matter the weather. If I plan on bowling two handed, it's either basketball shorts, or loose fitting shorts, because that delivery is a little more athletic. If it's league, I wear a T-shirt, tourneys a collared shirt. The main thing is comfort, if I am comfortable, that's one less thing I need to worry about.
