Sarge Easter
« on: April 08, 2006, 01:52:28 PM »
hey guys, i was bowling with my friend today, and he had sarge easter grips on his enriched uranium. and he told me to throw with them and i did, and the ball came off my hand a lot smoother and the ball has a nicer rev rate. and my question is, what does the sarge easter grip do exactly? im thinking about getting it in my tsunami. any help is appreciated, thanks!

For people that come around the ball a lot this drill is supposed to make them come up the back of the ball more.  It is also been said to reduce the rev rate as well, but I'm not inclined to agree with that.

I tried Sarge Easter a year ago and it helped me to reduce rotation (I was only able to play 60-80° and now I have a sweet and lovely 20-50° range of rotation). I re-drilled the ball fingertip after 2 months of using it for tweaking my release and everything was great.

This year I had some tendon problems (This week we discovered (Doctor, proshop and I) that it was because I losed 15 pounds of weight during december and my thumb got really small and I started to do some bad things to keep the ball at hand, I never noticed the change, noob mistake ) well, after fixing the finger I decided to drill sarge easter again to relief tension to the lower tendons. So now my thumbs are properly taped and fitted and my balls are sarge easter

I missed 2 national tourneys because of the injury and almost a month of training I am really sad for that!
