Wrist position plays into both consistency and style of play. You need to have a consistent wrist position to bowl at the highest level. But you also need to be able to adjust it based on lane conditions.

The Sarge Easter Grip
The SARGE EASTER grip is a fairly uncommon grip with fairly common misconceptions. We’ll get to those in a moment, but first I’d like to explain what the proper feel of this grip should be. When the fingers are set in the ball, the ring finger should feel nothing. There shouldn’t be any strain, the finger should feel like it disappears in the ball. What we are trying to do is take the ring finger out of play. To do this, we use reverse pitch in the ring finger, which will need to be adjusted based on your span, and other variables.

Will the Sarge Easter grip decrease your rev-rate?
his is true to an extent. During the “feeling out" stage, yes, your rev-rate will go down. It takes time to get accustomed to the grip, and for a certain time, you will worry that your ring finger will hang up in the ball. Once the grip feels comfortable, your rev-rate will go back to normal.
Only power players should consider the Sarge Easter grip
False. Using the Sarge Easter grip can effectively change the grip pressure and alleviate pain in your hand.

Keeping score used to be known by just about every bowler because you had to keep score manually. Now that just about every bowling center has automatic scorers, it seems that more and more bowlers don’t know how to calculate their own score. If there are still bowling centers with manual scoring, let us know. We are always interested in information like this.
