4 Reasons to Invest in a Bowling Glove!

Bowling gloves are protective gloves specially crafted for the wonderful sport of bowling! Now, you may be wondering “what kind of benefits can this possibly bring? Isn’t bowling pretty straightforward?”. Well, believe it or not, there are many uses and advantages of a bowling glove, even if you aren’t a professional, and we’ve listed a few of them here below:

1. Wrist and Arm Support

Have you ever spent a fun afternoon bowling with your friends, only to wake up the next morning wondering why your arm is so sore? That’s because throwing a heavy bowling ball from one direction to another isn’t as easy as everyone may think!

If you have weak wrists, carpal tunnel, or suffer from a bone disease like arthritis, a bowling glove may be the perfect solution to help you continue a hobby you love, without causing any further injury to your limbs and joints.

2. Finger Protection

Another problem that frequent bowlers face is their fingertips cramping and scraping on the finger holes and edges of the bowling ball. While this may not cause many problems at first, it can impact your hand health in the long term.

The extra layer of cushioning that bowling gloves provide means that your fingers are protected by padding, allowing your fingers more comfortability when throwing the ball.

3. Grip

Anyone who has gone bowling knows just how slippery everything is – from the ball, to the lanes, to the shoes, smooth surfaces are kind of a cornerstone of the game. So, unless you’re blessed with large hands, that can mean that sometimes, it’s hard to get a good grip on the ball.

Bowling gloves surround your hand with a material that has more traction with the bowling ball than your hand, meaning your grip is much more secure, and, as a result, so is your release!

4. Bowling Form

As a beginner or a recreational bowler, you may not think that proper form is super necessary. While that has some truth, you’ll have more fun (and increase your bowling confidence) if you do what you can to enhance your overall form. After all, every little bit counts, right?

With a bowling glove, your hand will cramp less, which means your arm can be more relaxed, allowing your shoulders to settle, and, by extension, your body.

So what do you think; will you invest in a bowling glove? Or perhaps you already own one? Send us a DM on Instagram @AieaBowl to let us know!
