    For those that use a mitt, do they keep it on their off-hand while bowling so they don't have to keep taking it on and off? I hope so...that would be very entertaining to see.
    I didn't see that exactly, but I did bowl against a guy last week that sort of had a mitt, he had a big bandage, I think from carpal tunnel surgery he had last week. He couldn't pick up the ball or hold any weight in it, he had a 120 game the first game and then he got used to it and shot a 25x and a 279 ! He's thinking about keeping it bandaged up the rest of the season ! ha

    I use Genesis Bowling Pure Pad for every frame. and after every two frames, I use a micro fiber with an approved bowling ball cleaner to clean the ball.

    Oven mitts, uhm... Must be a broke bowler

    Somewhat impulsively, I decided to jump on the train and grab one of the Storm shammys. Hope its worth the extra $

    I had a Storm shammy, and it worked OK, but I left it at the bowling alley. 20 bucks down the drain!

    Now I use these from bowlingball.com http://www.bowlingball.com/products/...pplicator.html

    They work very well, especially if you use something like That Purple Stuff.

    Those are what I use to clean my bowling balls with also, and they do work very well
    for cleaning between frames and after I get done for the night.

    I got my Storm shammy yesterday and used it last night. It works great and was well worth the extra $

    Well I'm in too, Just received my leather shammy.

    I got the blue bowlingball.com one, which looks the same as the blue Storm shammy and a bit cheaper too! (Also got the BB.com Monster Microfiber pads which look suspiciously like the That Purple Stuff pad only smaller.)

    Can't wait to try it, I'm going to have to interrupt my current cleaner test (Alcohol vs Simple Green/Alcohol mix sneakpeek: SG/AL not as good as you think), to test it out.
