ASK BOB
by Bob Korth
Q. I know you have used Thumb Carpets in the past. Do you still like them and use
them? and if so where can I get them.?
A. Y
es, I still use Thumb Carpets I have used them since 1998. Since using them I
have won a High Roller senior tournament in Las Vegas, a High Roller match play
tournament. I set the Oregon State tournament All Events record with 2316 for the
9 games. I won the Senior Storm Festival of bowling tournament at the Stadium in
Reno and seven Southern Oregon Senior titles, and have had many 300 games
and 800 series using Thumb Carpets.
Here is the how and why of Thumb Carpets They are made of a carpet like mate-
rial, they are cut in the same size and shape as bowlers tape. They are placed in
the back of the thumb hole in place of tape. They take up the room of about 3
pieces of white bowlers tape. There is yarn on one side and adhesive on the other.
They give a very snug fit which helps to keep you from squeezing the ball. Even
with the snug fit you will get out of the ball clean because the yarn of the carpet
and the air around it eliminates suction. Because suction is eliminated you will find
that that thumb swelling is greatly reduced. You may have little or no thumb fluc-
tuation again. If you do need a little more adjustment you put a piece of bowlers
tape in the front of the hole. You also get a choice of release with Thumb Carpet
put the carpet in with the yarn facing down for a slower release and yarn up for a
faster release. They are each marked with a red spot on the end letting you know
which way they are to be place in the hole for which release. Thumb Carpets can
be purchased through me I sell them in lots of 10 for $20.00 you send it to me with
a self addressed/self stamped # 10 envelope 2 stamps please. They come with an
instruction sheet. If you want to make a quantity buy 50 or more write me at my

What bowling balls are the best out there for the average bowler?
A.
We are lucky today because you can't go wrong with any of the ball companies

Company. Both Roto Grip and Storm are at the forefront of ball development. They
have a diverse line of bowling balls to fit all games from beginners to Profession-
als. They also have Apparel, Bags, and Shoes and Sundry items by Master Prod-
ucts.

nd while your there be sure and
check out the list of the best Professional and Amateur stars in the county that
Roto Grip and Storm have on staff. If you know any of them in your town ask them
about the Bowlers Company they will tell you what a great bowling company it is.
