Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo

Bowlers: This weeks tip applies to all bowlers who have found, when they arrive at the bowling center, that they cannot fit their thumb into the ball because their thumb swollen.
Slight swelling of the thumb can happen at any time, for many reasons. One reason can be due to humid weather. Other causes can be attributed to...chemicals that you have used (i.e. painting, cart care, masonry work, etc.) or it may be something simple such as having had salty food for dinner.
The obvious solution to the problem is to have the thumb hole in our ball enlarged, however, if this can't be done on the spot, here's a quick tip that many "old timers" in the bowling industry are familiar with. Take a lightweight towel and place it over the thumb hole of your ball. Next use the thumb to push the towel/rag down into the thumb hole along with your thumb. Leave the thumb in the hole for at least 30 seconds. This should bring your thumb down to its normal size. When you remove the towel, you will find that your thumb will fit easily into the hole.
