I don't remember when, but sometime way back I decided I liked Master brand white textured thumb hole tape best. Trying to think back why, I kind of remember only comparing it to AMF's tape.

Recently, just to test some others, I ordered some small packs of Brunswick's and Ebonite's white textured thumb hole tape.

Surprising myself, I find them all three brands, Master, Brunswick, and Ebonite, equally good, with no discernible differences that I can tell. Makes me wonder if the original supplier to all three bowling supply companies is the same manufacturer.

Any and all comments on your experiences are welcome. I just thought I'd throw out what I have found.

Also remember that the tape's adhesive tackiness and transfer is relavent to the age of the product. It tends to transfer easier from substrate to surface the longer it sits around. I would be willing to bet one to two suppliers to the manufacturers. Possible difference in resin content in substrate and slight variations of adhesive mass. Sorry to bore you all. I dabble a bit in adhesives as my job.
