Hello,
Didn't see the tiny kids sticker on my shoes and fell knees first onto the lane..... I'm a big boy so I'm hurting, but no major damage. Just a warning....first time I fell in probably 10 years.....

Ouch! Reminds of the one time I tried bowling with a shoe cover on. Not very graceful on that one, either.

Apparently I can bowl in those without much of an issue. Normally I do a check slide with my foot before settling in on the approach, but last week I must have just gone through the motions to later notice I hadn't taken it off...
A test slide is a good addition to your pre-shot routine if you don't do so already.
-
One of the reasons why I line up on the approach with my slide foot is so that I can 'slide' into my setup position. This can usually alert me to any dangers.
-
I have it in my preshot routine to rub my slide shoe sole while taking a look at it to see if there is anything on it.

Cav,
What is the tiny kids sticker you are referring to? Something that came with the shoes or something that you stepped on?

Man, my team mate smokes so he went out to burn one, comes back, didn't take shoe cover off, and disaster. Down on both knees, both hands. Lucky he didn't break a wrist or hurt a knee. Still sore four weeks after he did it.

Hope you're all right. Besides being embarrassing it can be dangerous.

Also been there. Did it earlier this season and had to skip bowling 2 weeks and withdraw from a tournament because of what it did to my knee. It still wasn't quite right until about 2 months after it happened.

Had a scrape on my knee when I was younger, band aid over it... don't know when but at some point during the game it fell off. I'm on front 9 and I conveniently step on the bandaid and don't notice it until I practically faceplant at the line. Needless to say I was happy with the 6 count. Definitely a lesson to be learned

This reminds me of a time last year in league. I am a big man (350lb) and last year I was having Velcro on my slide shoe problems, the pads new and old weren't staying on properly. On my second step, unknown to me at the time, the pad came off my slide shoe and idk if you have ever tried the opposite side of Velcro on old wood approaches it is like ice skating with new NHL level skates. I went down, but luckily didn't let go of the ball so wasn't a foul.

I've developed a habit where before I step on the approach, I simply tap the bottom of my shoe before I step up there, now it feels weird if I don't do it, even if I know it's fine haha.
