Q – Any chance of you guys getting a 2 handed bowler for your ball videos?
A – Currently we test at our own facilities and only employees of bowlingball.com are used because of liability issues and right know we do have one on staff.
We would love to have many different styles featured on our videos. Maybe as viewers you can tell us what styles you would like to see in upcoming ball reaction videos?
Question from “Sevenpin”
Q – My current equipment weighs almost 15 pounds. The past couple of years I have developed a sore elbow after bowling, but it goes away after a few days of rest. Nothing is wrong with my arm, so I am guessing that I am not as strong as I used to be (though I am heavier). I am 47 yrs old now. Would I benefit from dropping my next ball down in weight? I average 205.
A – My first suggestion would be that you have your fit checked at your local pro shop. Over time your hand can change slightly and this can effect the your grip. If your specs have changed this can cause some discomfort or pain in your elbow, hand or your entire arm for that matter.
It is very important that you are using the correct muscles in your arm to hold onto your ball and if you are not you will not only be in pain but also possibly cause damage to your tendons. Keep in mind when a span is too wide and or too short it causes you to grip using the smaller muscles.
If everything checks out then a weight change may be what you need. I would suggest not changing your ball weight until you are sure your balls are fitting your hand properly. If not the pain may continue even with a lighter weight ball.
Keep in mind that pain is the bodys way of telling you that something is wrong and if it continues I would suggest havingyour physician check it out.
