Is this legal
« on: May 31, 2008, 04:47:35 AM »
Here is my situation. I currently have a pair of dexter SST6 LX. i like the fact that u can change both the sole and the heal on these. My problem is that the rubber heals sometimes make me stop to quickly cause i am kinda a big guy at 6'2 like 270 lbs. The only heal that didn't stop suddenly was the H7 which is the red leather heal. I thought about if for a day then decided to take a few old soles and cut them out and make them heal. It actually works perfectly i get the smooth stop but don't over slide. My question is how legal is this to use in both USBC competition and or PBA.

Norm Duke tweaks his shoes and you can wear tennis shoes unless someone can prove that the shoes you're wearing are defacing the approach.

This is a non-issue IMHO...

I doubt it would be a problem since you are already using something that was on your shoe to begin with. I have seen alot of weird things being put on shoes.

One guy uses alcohol on his shoe. He plants and uses the alcohol to make sure that he does not slide.
