Need Help Bowling with arthritis
I have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. It started in my thumbs and I couldn't bowl for awhile. I can't straighten my thumbs, so it is hard to get my thumb into the ball and as a result it is difficult to hold onto my ball. How do others with this condition deal with this? What technique will help me get back into my old, pre-RA average? Thanks!

I don't have RA but my right thumb is a little crooked from an old basketball injury so my thumbhole has to be cut in an oval and pitched a certain way for it to be comfortable for me. I would suggest speaking with your local pro shop and maybe they can do something with the span and pitches to accommodate your thumb. Good luck with your RA.

First, if not already, go back to your driller and tell him/her what you found out about your hand. He/she may need to recheck you grip to ease the stress in your hand.
But if it's that severe, then the innovative product in the video might be your answer too.
