ASK BOB
by Bob Korth
Q. I have a problem with my hand sweating this causes me to drop the ball and
I lose control. What can I do to stop this problem?
A.
There are several brands of hand dry products available at your local pro
shop.
Make sure whatever you use make sure it does not have rosin in it. Sweat and
rosin equals Glue.
Myself I use control grip from Master Products. It is a white powder and comes
in a plastic bottle. It has no rosin in it and keeps your hand dry while maintaining
a consistent grip. Ask for it at your pro shop if they don't have it they can order it
from Master Products which is now owned by Storm.
It is not too expensive and a bottle should last you for at least a couple of sea-
sons or more. FYI, I am a Roto Grip staff member. Roto Grip is also affiliated
with Storm. However I have been using Control Grip for many years before I
was on staff.
Q. I have a sore wrist it feels like tendonitis. The pain sort of radiates from the
fingers on release. I have tried wrist braces but they are not comfortable to me.
Do you have any suggestions as to what else I might try?
A.
First get yourself to a Doctor and make sure you are not doing more damage
to your tendons or wrist. If the Doctor clears you then ask him what anti-
inflammatory pills you can take to reduce pain while bowling. You could also try
having a pinkie finger hole drilled in your bowling balls. This spreads out the
weight of the ball in your hand and the pinkie finger helps the other fingers carry
the weight and reduces the stress on the other fingers at release.
Q. I am a beginner bowler and I love the game. I would like to get my own
equipment but am on a limited budget. What should I purchase first? Also where
should I go to get the best deal on bowling equipment?
A.
The first purchase you should make is bowling shoes. They don't have to be
expensive and today's bowling shoes come in many styles. Getting the shoes
first makes the most sense because every time you go bowl you have to pay a
rental fee. Take the money you would have to pay for the shoes and save it
toward a bowling ball and bag. Because you are just beginning I would go to the
pro shop where you bowl. Most of them carry shoes in stock and you can try
them on. While you are looking at the shoes ask them about a price for a pack-
age deal.
Some pro shops will give discounts if you buy the ball, bag, and shoes to-
gether. The pro shops also may have lessons available and some might throw
in a lesson or two with the new equipment. Don't be afraid to ask most pro
shops are very helpful.
