I have a lot of problems finding a tape thatgives me a good release. Whenever I add a piece of tape I can no longer get out of the ball. I have tried black and white tapes with no success the black is a little better but not much. However, if my thumb hole is tight I have no problems getting out without tape. So I am obviously having problems due to the texture of the tape. Anoyone have any ideas of a tape that might be very similar to the feel of a normal thumb slug. My thumb  generally swells so by the end of the night I don't need the tape hardly at all. But until my thumb swells I struggle to get out of the ball, or I go without tape and stuggle with droping the ball and missing it at the bottom.

Thanks for the reply. I currently use the green thumb tape but I still need tape for the thumb hole to make it snug. I don't think I could use the thumb tape to make the hole snug before my thumb swells as it takes around 2 pieces of white tape to make it snug. Maybe I'll just have to stick it out with the black tape. But I think my problem with that tape is that it gets sticky like you said electrical tape does. Thats why I am not sure about electrical tape but its worth a try.

    have you tried electrical tape?? it to me is thinner and smoother,but you need to remove it evertime after bowling it tends to get sticky if left in the hole in warmer weather.. also a buddy of mine has the same problem, he actually doesn't use the tape that goes into the holes anymore, he uses the tape that he puts on his thumb itself.. hes says that he likes it because of the where and the way you can put it on.. it can be placed on in its normal thickness or you can stretch it to make it thinner.. it is also a smoother+slippery tape feel.. just a thought, take a look...         slashrr69
