Thread: Bowling gloves

  1. #1

    Default Bowling gloves

    Anyone here use a just a bowling glove, not a wrist support. Do they help with extra grip/hold because of the palm, pointer & pinky being textured? Do they also help with a more secure release? I feel like it might keep me from trying to grip the ball or am I wrong?

    I tried one years back (A Ebonite one), other than just making a fashion statement. I didn't really see much difference in my grip, rev's etc., I might would try one again (if I got it free or real cheap) just to see if there's any difference now since they've improved them a little bit I believe.

    From several posts I've seen, The Elite Talon glove appears to be one of the best ones at the moment and reasonably priced.

    Yeah, I kinda want to try one but they aren't the cheapest. Maybe a golf glove with fingers cut off? Lol

    Those have been used (Pete Weber used one), All kind of depends on the grip material used. How well it would work.

    I used to use gloves way back in the day I had a golf glove like PDW
    uses but now days I do not use them anylonger.

    They always made my hand sweat some so I finally decided enough
    was enough and took it off and never looked back and realized that
    they never really helped me that much anyway.

    Now days I just use one of these on my index finger and it works
    better for me than any glove that I tried in the past.

    I saw these as well, do you have any trouble keeping them on your finger?

    I tried the Tubro-Rev too, I kind of thought it wasn't soft enough to really grip the ball good. (Just a note a old finger insert will work just as well, thats where they got the idea for the rev.)
