    Default Is there thumbhole tape like this?

    I use thumbhole tape in my bowling balls. Thumbhole tape is thin and sometimes you have to put in several pieces to snug up the thumbhole when your hand is cold when you first start bowling especially during the winter. Is there thicker thumbhole to use so you don't have to use layers of the thin tape? It would be nice if the tape comes in different thicknesses so you can use one piece to start out with and use thinner pieces later as you warm up.

    Personally I like using Turbo fitting tape on the back of my thumb (The green Mint Coarse texture which is thick), then add white tape (Powerhouse premium tape) as needed.

    Shur cushions? http://www.turbogrips.com/products_c..._cork_tape.php

    They have a foam layer that compresses when you put your thumb in the ball.
