You might not be familiar with bowling grips and slugs, but they can really elevate your game to a level you might not have thought possible. A BowlerX representative can let you know exactly what types of grips and slugs are right for you, and get them to you quickly and efficiently. You’ll see a major difference in your grip and in your performance.
Bowling Slugs – The Basics
The thumb slug is typically made of urethane or vinyl that, as the name implies, goes into the thumb hole of a bowling ball. They’re made in different sizes, so it’s pretty easy to find one that’s a perfect fit. As always, if you have any questions a BowlerX representative will be glad to answer them.
Slugs go by different names, such as solids and inserts. Whatever you call them, they have helped a lot of bowlers of all skill levels.
There are a lot of different materials used to make a bowling ball. These materials form layers, such as the weight block, the core and the coverstock. All of these layers have different densities and textures. When you buy a ball and have your holes sized and drilled, some of these textures are exposed in the process. That can be uncomfortable – even though the hole might be the right size, it might still feel odd when you insert your thumb.
As a result, you might have trouble finding a comfortable release point, and you might throw the ball inconsistently. That, of course, can lead to erratic scores.
For many bowlers, a thumb slug is the answer to that feeling. It can be very difficult to sand the thumb hole in a way that feels perfect. Using a slug is much easier, and will make you feel much more comfortable.
