Bowling Gloves and Wrist Supports

Frequently Asked Questions

What are bowling gloves for?

Bowling gloves are essential for bowlers who want to maintain their performance over the long term. They help provide stability by blocking and wicking sweat to prevent poor grip, protecting your palms from calluses, and providing consistency in your throws.

What are the advantages of using bowling wrist braces?

Bowling wrist braces, as their name suggests, help prevent strains and injuries due to overuse. You can select from a variety of bowling wrist supports, from minimal wrap-arounds to more heavy-duty leather braces with index finger support, and everything in between.

How do I ensure my bowling gloves or wrist braces fit properly?

To ensure comfort and proper support, your bowling gloves and wrist braces must fit snugly enough to protect your hands and wrists without being too tight, as this can limit movement and increase the risk of injury. For sizing bowling gloves, wrap a tape measure around the knuckles of your throwing hand. The literal rule of thumb is that about 7 inches is for XS, and each additional inch is equivalent to one size up.
