There was a lady a few years ago making these in Florida.  I tried one as a test and could not get my thumb in the ball.  My opinion is that if I need something like that there is something not right with my drill.  It tended to snag what I could use of it.  It sounded like a good idea if you bowl until your arm falls off.  I'm sure like any other bowling products there is a lot of differences in quality.  You might give it a try and might work for you.  The pro shop we got it from said he could not get enough of them!

I personally did not like the thumb saver.  I found it slippery on one hand, and seemed to like to stick to the ball on the other (at times I felt it pulling as it came out of the thumbhole).  Not the solution.

Submit.  Become a slave to the tape.  And this may sound silly, but I think it's a good idea for someone to show you how to tape the ball, as it's kind of subtle and how you tape in terms of angle, depth, etc, can make a big difference.  Buy a 250 pack, you won't regret it.

A friend of mine and visitor to this site loves his and uses it quite well!

Another idea is Pete Webers....take a golf glove....tackier!  He uses that and cuts off the fingers.....nice release!

I may try it as I like the tacky feel of cabretta leather from many years on the old links!

Actually, Pete Weber leaves the fingers and cuts off the thumb.
