Your most important item........?
« on: December 22, 2006, 09:20:46 AM »
So if you go & play a game of bowling, you need a ball & shoes.

But what would be the most important accessory that you would need? It can be absolutely anything no matter how big or small. But its the thing that you must have if you want to bowl.

I used to take some Japanese pearl stones to give me some 'extra belief & confidence' & always took these to league nights. Let me just say i had 'mixed results' lol. Now its my vise tape which protects my fingertips from ripping. My must have for now.

How about you? Remember it can be anything, either directly/indirectly connected to bowling.

I cannot bowl without my Moro Pro Release. I have had surgery on my wrist and have arthritis. It is too painful to bowl without it.

Tape and my little bottle of acetone to remove any tape residue.  If you don't have the stuff to remove the residue is necessary then tape can be a disaster.

easy slide---not for my slide shoe but my thumb. the thumbholes on my equipment are very snug and a coating of easy slide on the back of my thumb ensures a smooth, clean release.

3/4" Tape and towel.  If I could only have one, it would have to be the tape.

I think the most important item is ... your brain; better yet, presence of mind. (no joke)
