Thumb holes create friction. Every release puts pressure on the same spots. Calluses, blisters, and skin tears accumulate through league nights and tournaments.
Traditional tape in the thumb hole affects fit and release consistency. Tape that's too thick changes your span. Adhesive tape leaves residue inside the ball. Bare skin means pain and inconsistent releases.
Bowlers need protection that cushions without significantly changing fit, and leaves zero residue in the ball.
Guard-Tex conforms to your thumb without bulk. Most bowlers can wrap 2-3 layers without significant fit changes. Adjust your layers to fine-tune the feel without re-drilling.
No adhesive means nothing transfers to your thumb hole or finger holes. Your ball stays clean. Remove and rewrap without scraping or cleaning.
Add layers if the fit is loose. Remove layers if too tight. Fine-tune between frames without any cleanup. This adjustability is impossible with adhesive tape.
Insert tape goes in the ball and affects feel permanently. Bowling tape with adhesive leaves residue. Guard-Tex wraps your thumb directly, adjusts frame by frame, and leaves no residue anywhere.
Most pressure occurs on the back of the thumb (the side facing you during release). Start there with 2 layers. Add coverage around the sides if needed.
Bowl a few frames. If the ball feels loose, add a layer. If tight, remove a layer. This fine-tuning is why Guard-Tex beats adhesive tape.
Swelling during long sessions changes fit. Add or remove layers as needed. No residue to clean, no sticky mess.
Slightly — each layer adds minimal thickness. Most bowlers use 2-3 layers and adjust quickly. The ability to add/remove layers lets you fine-tune fit without re-drilling.
No. Guard-Tex has zero adhesive. Nothing transfers to the ball. Your thumb hole stays clean.
Yes. Same technique — wrap and adjust until fit feels right. Works on any finger that contacts the ball.
