OK, I started on Beginners board, because wife and me is new to bowling. I got much good advice about ball choice for wife and me.  My wife, she got pretty ball called Scout.  I got used ball from friend called, Rhino Pro.  Very old ball, but that's OK, it's better than alley ball and not cost much.

But I follow advice about getting grips (I like to call them tubes) so that I can curve ball like other bowlers.  But even though they not hurt as much as when I used alley ball, my finger still hurt, near fingernail.  I ask for more help in Beginners board, but no answer.  So, I take tubes out and bowl with only fingers, but I don't like feeling and fingerholes are too wide for fingers.  Is there any other thing to use instead of tubes that make fingers not hurt?  My wife also, she break finger nail on one finger and blame me for getting tubes for her ball.  Need help, please.

You really want to talk with your proshop. When you take the finger inserts out the holes remaining are not beveled to be smooth and used in the same manner as a house ball.

As kidlost mentioned, you need the help of a professional who can look at the situation in person. Talk to your local proshop. If they plugged and redrilled the ball for you, then they should be more than willing to correct it so your fingers doesn't hurt.

Many thank you for your advice.  I go speak with pro shop person to find out what to do.  I still keep my tubes that were in finger holes.  Maybe I try some bowling tape on fingers.  Do you think that may help?  I know I roll the ball like beginner, but I try very hard to curve ball like good players.  Maybe you right that I not using good bowling habits.  Maybe that will help, but not sure about wife.  Maybe she need to bite her nails because she not happy about breaking nail when using tubes.  She not have this problem before with alley ball that didn't have tubes.

Many thank you to all that make good suggesstions to me.  I glad I find this website.  People very nice and helpful.

I don't hear about this glove before.  How does a glove protect my finger and wifes broken nail?  I see some bowlers wearing gloves.  But I think their gloves don't cover bowling fingers.  I'm sorry about broken English.  Maybe I'm not clear.  It is my bowling finger that hurt and wifes bowling finger that has broken nail.  It is not fingers on outside of ball that hurt, but fingers in ball holes.  Again, sorry if I am not speaking clear English.  If this grip glove you talk about is like other bowlers gloves, maybe does not work for me and wife.  Maybe I google this glove and see about this.  Maybe I am wrong because I am new bowler.  Forgive me, please.  Thank you for your suggestions.

I checked google about that griips glove.  This glove look different than other gloves I see at bowling alley.  So, I asked pro shop person.  He not hear or know anything about this glove.  So he sorry he cannot help me with answer if this glove is gimmick.  I first think it is gimmick because I see no bowlers using and nobody know what is griips glove.  So, I check more and see the company that make griip glove charge big money.  So, maybe not a gimmick.  I don't know.  But bowlers in video make this glove look good and say that fingers not hurt anymore.  But, cost is too much for wife and me.  So I check some more and see some other places charge less.  Anybody have bad experience with buying things from bowlingball.com or bowling.com?  Maybe, wife and me, we try this griip glove thing, but not sure about buying from online pro shop store.  Any advice, please?  Thank you.

Thank you for advice about online pro shop stores. And, thank you for advice about how to swing the ball and not hold ball so tight to make it curve.  I see many good bowlers make curving the ball look easy and does not look like they hold ball so tight.  Maybe I trying too hard.  I try to relax, but sometimes hard to relax when I want to knock down many pins.  My wife, she very relaxed, except when finger nail got broken.  Now she thinking about other nail and not on hitting many pins.  She now also see this griips glove thing and look like she want to try.  Maybe I buy this griip glove from online pro shop store before wife break her other nail and blame me again for getting tubes for her ball.  I also see that the online pro shop store have section on bowling tips.  I start reading many good comments and stories here.  Good to see many places where I can get tips and learn.  My English not so good, but better than bowling, I think.  So, you bowlers give me smart advice and have much experience I think and other reading also help me, thank you, since me and wife do not have much money for many bowling lessons now.  So far so good.  Thank you all again.

Just wondering Hector, but do you throw the ball with out putting your thumb in? Also, when you put your fingers in the ball when it had the tubes do you put in your fingers as far as they will go or do you just put the tips of your fingers in? If you are putting your fingers in as far as you can then try Backing them out to the first nuckle. I think you may just need some coaching, shouldn't be hurting like this. Don't worry about the griips glove just yet, its real, but I think it may be the wrong dirrection for you.
