Hi, my father has a problem. Can you help?
When he was a kid he had an accident with his thumb. Now all those years later he still has problem with it. How? Well his thumb gets smaller after he throws a few times. So when he starts bowling his thumb hole is a bit to small but after he throws a few times, the hole is the small. After searching for a solution for months, we finally got one: A thumb insert with extra grip. The insert has a grey piece in it that gives more grip. It improved his game a lot ( 2 times 300 ). But now, we can't find those inserts anymore. Does anybody know a company or site where we can find them. Tnx!

Has he tried using white textured tape?
Another solution would be Ron Clifton's Magic Carpet go to www.bowl4fun.com for details on the Magic Carpet.

I use both and it works great for me.

Does the "insert" you speak of look like this?  More or less white tape on the edges and a textured mesh in the middle.

It's kind of hard to read the lanes if you don't know their language...

I don't think these little buggers have been made for years.  Thumb Chums (sp?) were originally made here in Lansing though.  Good supply at local pro shops, but I don't think I have ever seen these torture devices online.

I think Turbo is making the adjustable thumb inserts that you twist and put a smaller one in!

REgards,

Tnx

Thanx to all of you. I think I'm going to try it with Turbo-grip , if they are available here in Belgium.
