The more I get into trying to become a good bowler, the more I realize how the sport has such a high number of variables. Good video...
My Vise IT system is a godsend. I have 4 thumb pieces that have saved my thumb over the last 4 years.
Fantastic tip again. I love you. Thanks for al the great videos. Love from Holland.
Great tip. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
The screen/sanding disc is what I am missing. Thank you!
Another great video !!! Thanks a ton!

Good video this is definitely a must if you are serious about bowling. Our hands change day to day and with the seasons. I also use a little ultra slide . Good job. Like the upcoming premiere.

I’m a beginner and this video has just appeared at the right time as I’ve started to use tape for my thumb hole. Awesome thank you

Great to hear!
I love my Vise I.T. thumb inserts! I used to lose at least two frames of consistency because of feel changes when I didn't have my Vise inserts. Now I can switch between balls and my fit and feel is identical from ball to ball. No more lost frames!

Glad to hear it Mark!
Nice tips ! Thanks ! Question: even though you use the sandpaper very lightly, won't it gradually enlarge the thumbhole? How often do you find you have to do that? Couldn't an alcohol towel or some soap remove the oils also? Thanks !
Great Tip about cleaning the thumb hole I will have to do that more often

Last year I became a huge proponent of adjusting the feel with tape. This year I'm moving to an interchangeable thumb system because my drilling was inconsistent. Pretty sure I'll use less tape this year because my drilling has become more accurate. Shannon, I really appreciate the insights you've shared on this topic!

Does Shannon use 1 inch or 3/4 inch thumb tape?
What size tape does Shannon use 3/4 or 1 inch
Great tips, Shannon! Do most pros use tape primarily in the back of the thumbhole?

Hi there! It mostly depends on the bowler. Feel is something that will be different for everyone. Some will use both in the front and the back, some only in one of those spots, and some don't use it at all. It's all dependent on what feels best for you!
Inside Bowling what weight ball does Shannon throw?
I tape bottom pointer fingers side of my thumb prevent blisters and I wrap around my pointer to prevent hang nail popping but it to much tape

Thanks for watching Jefferson. Even bowling many games a day or week shouldn't produce blisters so we'd encourage you to go to a reputable pro shop and have your grip/fit checked to make sure all is okay with it. Good luck on the lanes!
What is the beat tape to use I’m thinking of getting some as my grip on my fitted ball doesn’t seem like I can use it without gripping hard to keep the ball in my hand. Any advice from anyone on my options would be amazing! 👌😎
Hi Shannon, I definitely struggle with thumb feel, always have to tape in and out. But don't use inserts, and I probably should. What brand do you suggest, or can't you say publicly?

Shannon swears by VISE inserts! That's the only insert brand she uses!
Nice tip.~ If possible. Can you tell me about your grip?

@@insidebowling I want to know how Shannon grip the ball. I want to know the depth of the middle ring finger and the tips for holding the thumb.
i dont care for the feel of the glue on tape, what would be another suggestion?
Too much reaction all the way in hole using hammer looks identical almost to parallax effect but hammer had smaller thumb so perfectly fit for repeatable release parallax is first ball sized or drilled for span thumb sizer fit tight it was largest one in shop so may of had eye ball sand to fit but tested difrence and no resistance is hard to accurately release ball does work if adjust my thumb to match hammer I will have devastating game or atleast I'd be happy
Have you found that this “premieres” option generates more views? I’m just curious, because personally I find them irritating...when I see the thumbnail I want to watch the video...the irritation factor easily outweighs any “suspense” built up for a bowling video.
