I tape my thumb. But I've been getting that crack on the fingers and have been looking for a good method. Always informative here!

I tape my thumb to make it smoother on my release. I may look into taping my fingers for when I throw longer format tournaments. Thanks for the tip sir! My spinners fron DH Labs should be coming in the mail any day now. VERY excited to try them out!

Great information! I’ve been curious about this, and the wrist tape seen on bowlers. Thanks!

As a two hander I have learned over past two months with how much I bowl and how much I’m ripping it I have to tape my fingers to protect them. And for me personally I went up two grip sizes

My second thumb is a little big for my normal swelling, so I've figured using tape would help. Last night I had to use that thumb and put the skin protective tape (the beige one) on the back/side of my thumb and that worked well for me.

I use one of those disposable alcohol wipes before applying tape to my hand and it helps it stick a lot. Also a thorough hand washing as soon as I get to the bowling alley helps too.

Your the man! Always making the odd videos that come in the clutch

I use a product called New Skin, goes on clear and only need to re-administer minimally during sets. Nice thing is you don’t have to get new finger grips. My problem with tape is my hands sweat a lot and never stay for more than a few throws.

Thank you for making this video

I used to have to do a ton of work to the back of the thumb for clean 1H release. Instead of that I just switched to 2H and I don't have a need to tape my fingers yet.

I tape my fingers also I do it similar to you. But to keep the tape from flapping because I do sweat a lot, I cut one narrow strip for each finger and wrap it around my upper knuckles to keep it nice and tight. I use the bio skin from vise.

excellent, I stole that from you and start taping my fingers at the beginning of league season this year. I noticed my fingers were shrinking as much as my thumb. and either hung up in the ball or dropped it. After bowling a 92 with 4 gutter balls from losing it off my fingers I took the red thumb tape and put it on my fingers then proceed to bowl a 189 the very next game. Thanks Luis.

Luis, to help tape stick better I highly recommend isopropyl alcohol wipes. They remove moisture from the area to be taped and I don't have any issues with tape coming off and my hands do sweat a bit.

Cool video talk tech bowling Luis Napples

Great video Luis. I don't tape my fingers (I do tape my thumb), but I will recommend this video to someone I know, who does.👍👊✌🖖

Can you do an episode on the bw 3.0 as well as one about which bowling gloves are the best for support and which are best for hooking

I have the same issue with dry skin and cuts. I’m not a fan of taping my fingers so I started using O’Keefe’s Working Hands after I bowl. It has helped tremendously with the dryness and cracking. I was using Super Glue to protect the cracks in my fingers when I bowl.

Just started to use tape because I had a grip change and it was to loose thanks for the tape vid on how to tape your fingers!

I superglued my finger after Icut it severely on my lathe machine. Then I taped it and bowled well in a tournement.

I was always curious about the taped fingers, i thought this is something I should do, but not for a 3 day a week bowler, but for the bowler who bowls a ton of games, ex. (PBA bowler) another great info video Luis, thanks.

I do not tape my fingers but if I did I would follow what you said, Luis. Great video... Very informative...

Only tape my ring finger, I prefer a slightly long span so the ringfinger pad gets purple and feels like a sun burn after a few days of bowling close together. Absolutlely normal taped. The storm gray tape is tackiest on the outside but doesn't stay on a even 1 game. The yellow vise has no tack but stays on great all night. The vise blue bioskin IS THE BEST imo. Little bit of tack feel on the outside, bout as thin as the yellow and sticks alittle better then the already good yellow. I keep alchol squares in my bag, rub down hand and no prob after applying.

I used to tape my fingers, I got tired of it, now I have meticulously installed and slightly modified Vise finger grips so I never have to tape my fingers again. My thumb on the other hand, I have to tape the back of my thumb and readjust multiple times per session to keep the right tightness of fit. My thumb changes so much it's ridiculous. My fingers don't mind not being taped, and two weeks ago my bowling buddy and I played 40 consecutive games, without any problems with my fingers. When I did tape my fingers, I would cut small strips of Vise Grip Tape and wrap around the tops of my finger tapes, this kept my finger tapes on perfectly.

Yes I tape mine because I don't use inserts. I hate having to change them out so I quit using inserts.

Do you have a coupon code for the ball spinner so they know you are advertising for them

There is a sticky substance named "skin tac." You can apply this to the finger, and it will help the tape remain adhered to the finger.

I only tape thumb. No trouble with fingers at this point

Just the TIP 😂

I tape my fingers (i actually just wrap the tape around my finger.. i didnt like the feel of the sides being open.... I also sweat quite alot, so i am one of the horrible people who superglues the tape onto my finger lol, i dont have any issues when it comes to removing at the end of a block, comes off pretty each, i just then have to wash my hands to get any remenents off.. I actually started doing it because at a tournament (before i used tape) i ripped a chunk of skin off my middle finger (on the side, right where your finger bends around the top of the grip).... i had made the cut, and i was gaurenteed cash if i bowled! so i wrapped my finger in some Kinesio tape, went to the pro shop, when 2 sizes up in the one grip played pretty well made the next cut, but then the wheels fell off... once i got home (and my finger was healed) i decided i wanted to try the tape on both fingers, now like 5 years on i have noticed a few things 1 - my fingers never rip any more (obviously) 2- my fingers do not swell up block to block (even in the warmest environments 3 - I used to have a bad habit about having too much finger pressure. i know this will sound weird cause the tape reduces your feel, but now i have basically no finger pressure... means my grips last a little longer!! the only downside i have is i go through more rosin than before and obviously the cost of super glue and tape... But i would never go back to bowling without tape

Physio tape stays well on the fingers I use the black right now 7 squares, they stretch a lot.... and I have short fingers😅

I use new skin when taping my fingers and it holds good and doesn't hurt when removing it.

This question is off topic, it’s regarding the coolwick jerseys. If I wear an XL tee should I get a jersey in XL or XXL ? Do they run big?

Was there league tonight?

Is the grip /release any different with tape?

I don't use tape at all. I'm trying to understand if there is an underlying fit issue or if people sweat and swell more than I do. Maybe my game count isn't high enough at 20-25 games per week? Any insight is appreciated. I assume I'd lose a lot of feel with tape.

How does taping the fingers affect your hook

I tape my thumb only. Helps me to not grip the ball and squeeze it. But my ball driller sucks and my ball don’t really fit me either.

Promo-SM

No I don’t and have no need to tape them.

I don't not tips my fingers
