Abstract
Abstract This invention concerns bowling accessories, particularly finger supports and glove attachments which aid in the holding, controlling and releasing of bowling balls for improving performance. Supports for fingers inserted in bowling balls increase control and accuracy, avoid overtaxing hand and arm muscles, and augment gripping power of infirm persons. Knobs attached to the glove ensure proper grip to fully benefit from control provided by finger supports.
