The "best" bowling
accessories differ from bowler to bowler. While one bowler
may prefer fitting tape, another may prefer insert tape. While
one bowler may prefer grip balls, another may prefer non-slip
creams. However, there are a few bowling accessories that
everyone should consider:
- Fitting tape or insert tape -- One goes on your fingers/thumb,
the other goes directly into your ball. They both improve
control, grip friction upon release, and more. They can
also reduce the chance of calluses, blisters, and cuts.
Note: for those who use insert tape, insert removers are
important bowling accessories.
- See-saws -- Keep your ball like new. Remove oil and debris.
- Grip aids -- No matter what kind you get -- ball or cream
-- you are going to want and need at least one.
- Shoe covers -- Unless you never plan on leaving your lane
to hit the restroom or the bar, you are definitely going
to want to have shoe covers to protect your shoes. Of course,
if you forget them, you can always just take off your shoes!
- Skin patches -- Bowling can be a rough sport... Well,
at least, if you look at the hands of an avid bowler you
might think so. Sores, calluses, and blister are not uncommon.
Protect your hands with skin patches.
These are just a few of the most basic bowling accessories
that you should consider putting into your accessory bag.
If you are starting fresh, you may even consider buying a
bowling accessory bag that comes complete with bowling accessories.
Then as you play more, you will find that you have certain
preferences, and you can buy your bowling accessories accordingly.
