Help with finger tape......
« on: February 10, 2008, 02:00:18 PM »
Anyone use this stuff.....

Bowling tournaments as of late and my fingers are turning into ground-meat....

I never liked inserts, and now I'm starting to pay.

I use pre-cut vise tape (#4 i believe). Cut the piece in half and put that on...been working great so far.

I like the Ebonite wrap tape better,it stretches so the finger holes are not too tight and it keeps the holes from tearing your fingers or thumb up.Plus you can cut to fit.

I have a ton of hand, but I'm slightly speed dominant..., I rely on a getting a good feel (or grip in my fingers) at release.  While this really thin blue tape adhesive works wonderfully, it causes me to lose grip at release.
