How Do I Determine the Correct Bowling Ball Insert Sizes?

Bowling is one of the most popular sports that any age group can participate in. Almost anyone can become good at bowling, and it's an affordable activity. Whether you're a middle-aged man or an older woman, you can find enjoyment in the simple pleasure of rolling the bowling ball down the lane. Owning the proper equipment will add to the quality of your game and the fun you get out of it. Finger inserts are just one extra that will ease pain in your fingers and allow you to release the ball better.

Instructions

    • 1

      Find a ball size that works for you. Heavier balls typically have larger finger holes unless you have one custom made.

    • 2

      Test out several inserts on your fingers. Select one that fits comfortably but isn't too loose.

    • 3

      Try out the insert inside the ball. The insert should fit snugly into appropriate finger holes of the bowling ball.

    • 4

      Use a different size insert if the one you've selected doesn't fit both your finger and the ball properly. It should slip off easily when you release the ball but allow you a certain amount of grip beforehand.

    • 5

      Test out the inserts in an actual bowling game. Keep what works and return any that are not the right size.
