    Default Bowling tape/tool kit?

    So some guy in my league last night helped me out with some tape for my ball, and he had some kind of kit with a bunch of stuff including a tool that assisted with placing the tape in the ball. Does bowlingball.com sell such a tool kit? I'm asking because I'm about to pull the trigger on a new bag, and figure I might as well add a bowling "toolkit" if they sell one. If you know, please advise?

    Master Tape Insert Tool (These are usually way over priced on line, I bought at the lanes for a $1.50)

    Sandpaper. Hands down - 100% fine grit sandpaper! Thumb hole edges, be gone!

    I usually walk into my Pro shop and borrow his bevel tool and file to do fine tuning on my thumb hole.

    My "bowling kit" includes a few different types of tape (personal preference stuff here - have some blue, purple, and green / white 3/4" and 1" and black 3/4"), a tape insert tool, fingernail clippers, super glue (never know when an insert is going to go flying), a pen (also good for fishing out tape stuck at the bottom of the thumb hole), a small pair of scissors, beige tape on a roll, liquid skin, rosin ball, Easy Slide, grip cream, a pocket knife, and band-aids.

    I also keep a small print out of my ball maintenance schedule that I track games on.

    Donna- you forgot the lighter. My fondest memories of my coach growing up were when he lit my 10-year-old thumb on fire to cure the old Blue and Yellow box'd Robby's white fabric/liquid skin patches. lol!
