Wonder if using one of these would extend the life of my sst8 toes?
A DIY Slidestone
Over in another forum they were talking about the Brunswick Slidestone.
See here:
Click for Brunswick Slidestone
The slidestone is just a couple of pieces of Soapstone attached to a piece of molding.
Soapstone has been used for years by bowlers for adding slide to their sole. It's not messy like easy slide and lasts a long time. Plus you can rub it on your thumb also if your sticking some.
This is my quick do it yourself slidestone!
1 small piece of wood/molding and a couple of pieces of soapstone and some adhesive:
The Brunswick version is about $9.
I bought a package of soapstone for $3 at lowes (in the welding supplies), which is enough to make about 8 or 10 DIY's.

If you mean where you drag your toe on your push off shoe, probably not that much. I think it would wear off the rubber too fast, but you could try it.Originally Posted by dnhoffman

$9 is way over priced alright, that's what they have them for online.
I never seen one in a proshop, they have barely been mentioned in the forums.
Note for everyone:
As for the legality of it and rule 12, it's not anymore legal than anything else. So use with caution.
