I am tottally convinced that not only rh bowlers hate lefthandersbut so do.....
« on: January 14, 2016, 10:49:45 AM »
I am thouroughly convinced that bowling manufacturers hate left handers as much as right handed bowlers do. I cant find a decent pair of bowling shoes that dont look hideous or i have to take out a mortgage to buy that take 500 yrs to break in. I have an old pair of sst 5 sports that i love but they are breaking down bad. i tried getting a pair of etonics that were traditional bowling shoes they are comfortable but are messing with my timing so bad i can wear them. i like the tennis shoe style but all the ones they make these days are either rh specific or dual slides the one pair that storm makes that i could wear are so god awful looking with yellow green and black there no way i will wear them. i probably gonna just take a pair of tennos shoes to shoe shop and have them put velcrow on right shoes and be done with it. my rant for today!!!!

Available in wide for lefties? Same price as SST5s (my favorites)  if not I think discrimination against left handed fat footed lefties!

> hate left handers as much as right handed bowlers do

I love left handers (son is for no other reason lol).  Especially when you get three or four of them together on the same lanes and watch them flip out about actually seeing having to deal with lane transition on that side.

I have worn linds shoes for a number of years now. I am a lefty and also have a wide foot, and a handful or so years ago when I was wanting adjustable sole shoes, someone just happened to be selling a brand new pair of Linds xxxtra lh in my size & wide width for 59.95 free shipping on ebay--otherwise I would have had to have linds custom make them at that time..saved a bunch of money.

I love to have some of our local great lefties on the lanes with me or next to me.

Being slower with good revs I can go inside these more balanced  players as far speed matched up with revs.

I can also watch their natural and beautiful lefty rhythm and style.

Almost always my high sets of the year!  And often they hand me the handicap check.  I don't beat them scratch but often when on my pair I'll hang.

Thank you great lefties on my pair for blending out the extreme wet/dry I often face for 2 1/2 games of a 3 game set. Thank you great lefties for throwing to a consistent spot that I can hook off from inside you. Thank you great lefties for showing me the gorgeous form I strive for and lefties and rights alike wish they had.

Oh you are so wrong!

The best days...a good or great lefty on my pair.

Thank you,

Luckylefty
PS could they just make some beautiful wide Inexpensive SST5S for us again?
