My Brunswick TPU-X Traction Sole Modification
My modification of the Brunswick TPU-X bowling shoe, TP3 rubber push off sole.
The edge of the sole would drag and the velcro would no longer stick to the shoe, KR sent me a replacement and said to just fudge it over a little away from the edge to stop it.
I thought I could do something better.

Yes The leather stuck right on, it was just a piece of a regular dexter #2 interchangeable sole so had velcro on it already and stuck right on.Originally Posted by Blacksox1

Great vid and mod!
This has inspired me to perhaps try the same thing on the slide sole to try and fine tune the inbetween of too little and too much I am having.

mine are starting to do this as well and I was told from Brunswick to move the sole back 1/8". I just ordered a replacement traction sole today as the tip of mine basically split from this same issue. The rubber is actually peeling from the velcro on the sole itself. One thing I noticed, if you accidentally drag your toe on your push off (sometimes happens when kick the leg behind), its slick as hell! About fell on my face the first time that happened. I've been thinking of taking a bit of rubber from an old push off sole and putting it on the toe, or trying to modify my dexter power sole from my old SST8's to make it work. If I get around to that, I'll post something showing what I've done. I've actually made my own pair of interchangeables as well out of an old pair of tennis shoes. Just scuffed the bottom, got some 3M velcro, glued the velcro down to the sole of the tennis shoe, and modified my bowling soles accordingly. Worked pretty good for just messing around with it bored one day. May have to actually find a flat pair of shoes that it will work better with (I did it with a pair of DC skate shoes, not the best idea lol)
