Poll: Grip aids in the thumbhole
« on: December 31, 2005, 10:03:49 AM »
What is everyone using for grip aids in the thumbhole?

ie such as Front = Cork Inserts, Exotic tapes, or bowler's tape, etc.  In the back = Magic Carpet, Foam, slick tape, cloth tape etc. Please include any creative homemade hobbiest or ye ole hardware store ideas too.

and what if any are the pros and cons that you experience with your methods and products? such as when it's very warm or very cold.

I am currently using 4-5 pieces Brunswick Bowler's 3/4" coarse white tape in the front and J&J Cloth tape in the back. But am thinking about going with more grip such as Cork a cork insert or a Vise grip product in the front. Sometimes, I feel that I don't have complete control when releasing ball with heat and cold extremes, and feel that more solid gripping texture might help.

thanks in advance.
