Anyone bowled after losing their thumbnail from smashing their thumb?

I caught my thumb in a car door about a month ago and i thought i might get lucky and not lose the nail since it's been growing out. But it seems like it might fall off in the next couple of weeks now.

Looks like i might have to bowl left handed for a few months. Two handed bowling just doesnt work for me

Thumb Sock?

I was gonna reply the same thing

If you are fitted properly I would think the bulk of the pressure on the thumb should be on the pad side of the thumb not the top where the nail is.

However that being said you might drag some on the nail side at times. You'll just have to see how uncomfortable it is.

I think I would try to have a bandage underneath the thumb sock if i try that.

I had shoulder surgery a couple years ago and was back bowling in 6 weeks with a 13lb ball. I know it'll just depend on how it feels with the nail bed.

Id rather bowl left handed than not bowl for 2-3 months. I like bowling too much and bowling left handed is a different challenge that i feel i could maybe average 160ish on our house shot

Some of us just can't stop bowling for any reason. A friend bowled with a broken ankle, I bowled with a dislocated shoulder. Not saying it was good, but we tried.

I'll never understand this illogical take, and I have a passion for the game. 

Don't get me wrong, you all do you, but I don't understand bowling injured.  Sure we all have a little nagging this or that (that's just part of the deal as bowlers), but to bowl with smashed thumbs, broken ankles and dislocated shoulders, that doesn't make any sense.  What's the point in bowling if you can't bowl to your potential?  How is that fun?  My God......

Fair enough.
