    And be careful using Chapstick as a little goes a long way.
    I saw a guy with some in his bag, I thought he was just being prepared in case someone wanted to kiss.

    The previous guy who used to run the shop I'm at was a HUGE proponent of Chapstick.
    He said the Cherry flavor Chapstick was the best for bowling.

    Why, I haven't a clue. But he has 40+ years of Chapstick experience so take it for what it's worth.

    I don't want my hand dry for bowling. I lick my right palm, sort of similar to what Tom Smallwood does. I want my palm a little tacky because I bowl thumbless.

    My hands sweat no matter what. Sometimes i'll fold a towel and fan it on my right hand, recently i picked up a DV8 Giant Grip Ball, its like holding a microfiber softball. has plenty of material in it, doesn't turn your hand dirt brown like other rosin sacks i had. Keeps my hand dry with a goldilocks level of tacky-ness. Other rosin sacks i had, my hand seem to have some sort of allergy reaction, red spots shows up all over my palm and feels itchy, haven't had this issue with the dv8 grip sack.. yet
