This week, TalkBowling anwers a couple of viewer questions.
All this and more on TalkBowling Episode #0013.
This one is especially good for beginning bowlers. The bowling grip is one of the key components to bowling better. There are many types of grips usable in bowling, but there are two main ones. You probably wouldn’t use any other type until you were ready to start experimenting.
The Conventional Grip and Fingertip Grip.
Finger Inserts, Thumb Slugs, Switch Grips, and Thumb Molds OH MY!
There are so many options when it comes to how the bowling ball feels in your hands. And there are many determining factors to how you release the bowling ball. Some of these options are whether or not to use finger inserts, and if you do will you use [bowlingball value="4475"/] or [bowlingball value="4518"/]. What are the difference?
And then another factor is your thumb. Should you or shouldn’t you put something in your thumb hole? If you do, there are many options. [bowlingball value="4520"/], [bowlingball value="4652"/], [bowlingball value="4519"/], [bowlingball value="4524"/], and [bowlingball value="4525"/].
Have you wanted to make your current bowling ball work in heavier oil and just didn’t know how. We give you some ideas on what you can do to make it work.
bowlingball.com received a lot of email about pin placement (Also referred to as distance or length).
The pin placement is the distance between the Pin and the Center of Gravity(CG). This used to be one of the biggest factors in drilling a bowling ball. And because of USBC static imbalance rules, still plays a small part. The biggest factor in bowling ball performance is the distance of the pin from your Positive Axis Point, not from the CG.
For a demonstration of the CG’s impact on ball performance, take a look at BrunsNick’s CG’s Don’t Matter Part 1 and Part 2.
