I have to brag because she is also one of my roommates and a great one at that also. I will let Cindy Coburn-Carroll take it from here. Enjoy, Laura Moriarty One very important part of bowling that might be easily overlooked is the grip. This is such an important area especially to women because we do not always have the gripping strength to hold onto the ball. Getting your bowling ball drilled by a pro shop is one of the best investments that you can make.
Comfort is one reason.
If you only bowl a game or two you would probably not notice too much strain on your hand. But if you are league bowling one, two, or three times a week or more, you are going to want a grip that will not blister or hurt your hand. Just as a runner would not fare too well if she had no support in her shoes or if they were too large or small, the improper grip would cause much discomfort while bowling. Your pro shop should determine the best grip for the level of bowling you are currently at. Conventional, semi-fingertip, or fingertip grip, are the three standard grips that can be drilled.
