Just wondering what people think the benefits of an oval thumb are.

None.

Its all about your thumb, if its oval shape, it will feel better.

If it isn't over shaped it will feel like crap.

Man, my thumb is oval shaped and without those custom oval thumb slugs i don't see how i could bowl.  They cleaned up my release tremendously a few years ago when i started using them instead of circular holes and adding tape to make it oval.

Hey ...I have an oval thumb.  (not dramatic but still oval).


I find that I prefer to add tape...but when I oval and add tape it gets pretty funky and tight certain places.

REgards,

PS...I'd be curious how many pro bowlers on tour use oval.

Also I'd be curious how many instead oval thru the use of tape.... any knowledgeable people on this statistic?
