Continuing our discussion of Bowling Accessories, this post will look at shoe covers, hand conditioners, rosin bags and sewing kits. We cannot stress this enough—Bowling Shoe Protectors are a must for any bowler. These inexpensive items can prevent you from falling on your face at the foul line because you left the bowler area and got some water, gum or other dirt on the slide sole of your bowling shoes. If this has ever happened to you, there is no more to say. They come in many bright colors and designs: get a pair.

Hand Conditioners for a bowler are to keep the hand dry. It is next to impossible to repeat shots with moist hands and fingers. Hand conditoners are usually in a bag and fit easily in the hand. There should never be any residue left on the hand. The feel of the ball should never change. Once you begin league night, tournaments or just practise, your release hand should never touch anything other than the ball. High fiving teammates could get you into trouble, after all you have no idea where that hand has been!!! Don’t eat or drink with that hand either. Rosin Bags are another way to keep the hand dry. By far the most popular way to help with grip security, there are other products. If you use a powder, be careful. If you interfere with another bowler, this is illegal. You must keep control of the powders. According to the rules, if you get any foreign substance, including powders, on the bowling ball, it must be removed before putting the ball in play. Just be careful.

A Sewing Kit sounds unlikely to have in your bag but when you need one, you need it bad and in a hurry. Popping buttons or zippers are examples of fixes that need to be made now, in the middle of a tournament. Bet you never thought of that did you???

The whole idea of these accessories is to reduce stress levels. If you are prepared, you can have boatloads more fun bowling.
