Question
I have noticed that as I bowl in my league I am having a porblem with my ball slipping off my fingers.  I have tried rosin and it does not help.  I am wandering if finger inserts can help prevent this and help give me more control on my ball.  Thanks

Answer
Jeff,
    First, is it drilled correctly? If so, have you tried putting tape in the holes? Inserts can help, but, there are many different types. Some give you more lift, which hooks the ball more, others are just rounds or ovals. I would have my drilling checked first, maybe have the prop shop operator watch you bowl. Then the two of you can decide what to do. Thanks Joe
