slug or no slug question
« on: November 07, 2024, 01:55:29 PM »
I just returned to bowling after years away (also an old BR member "addik" - days of the late sawbones and excaliber, tenpinspro). Crazy to think I started 2 decades ago lol. anyway....

I have a question about Spare balls with slugs and IT's, they don't last in my hands. I roll over the thumb when I kill the hand for spares - end over end. Will going without slugs save the thumb hole from cracking? I know glue makes shells brittle but no so sure.

St. Louis area.  Wife's job moved us again, been here a little over 8 years.  On pace for about 250 rounds this year.  Too many aches and pains to practice enough to get good.  Had a pretty good stretch this summer when I really knew where the ball was going and got below 1, but usually somewhere between 3-4.

Oh yeah I remember you had moved. I’ll take 3-4 lol. Lowest I got was an 7/8 but hard win against guys 16 18 that shoots 85.  Bowling is the same.

Btw, It’s funny… I was working on my thumb holes on my bench last night and thought about the mold thumb insert you made for me.  IT’s are starting to bug me. Top sleeves be coming off.
