Things are normalizing after Covid, and it won’t be long when you can visit your local bowling alleys and have fun with your buddies. However, even if you’re able to go to some terrific bowling establishments like the Stars and Strikes in Atlanta, you will still need some accessories to maximize your scores. These should include the right wrist support glove for bowling.

The need for a bowling wrist support glove is easy enough to understand. What’s not so easy is picking the right one for you. To help you make an informed choice, here’s an overview of the advantages and drawbacks you can expect from some of the great bowling wrist support gloves you can buy.

Robby’s Leather Plus

Pros

• The leather glove will gradually mold to the precise shape of your hand over time, ensuring the proper fit.
• The range of available sizes is geared towards smaller hands. In fact, it comes with a petite size (smaller than the regular small size) which is ideal for kids.
• The design of the glove is fantastic for hook shots. Since hook shots are great for making more strikes, this should improve your scores considerably.
• The metal support integrated in the glove keeps your hand and wrist in the proper position, ensuring that you don’t feel any pain afterwards. This is the glove you get if you’re suffering from carpal tunnel or any sort of pain.
• The price is quite reasonable.

Cons

• It’s not really meant for large hands, as the XXL size isn’t available.
• You won’t be able to make small adjustments here, since the fixed design is specifically meant to keep your hand in a consistent position.
• It’s not easy to find a left-handed version.

Storm C4 Wrist Positioner

Pros

• The quality of the glove is extremely high. The construction is excellent, with durable parts that work well together.
• It’s very comfortable to wear, as the straps are secure and also adjustable.
• You’re able to make some adjustments easily enough with the lateral wrist angle and with the amount of cup. These adjustments let you fine-tune the glove for different bowling lane conditions and situations. A simple flick of the switch can make you ready to go for a spare.
• The wrist support can help prevent pain afterwards.

Cons

• The premium quality of the glove comes at a high price.
• While the sizes range from small to XL, there’s no XXL option.

Brunswick Powrkoil Wrist Support

Pros

• This uses duraluminum, which is a lightweight alloy of aluminum that was first used for aircraft. It’s strong for its weight, and it’s also quite durable (hence the name).
• It allows for lots of fine tuning to let you deal with particular lane conditions and situations. You can get more revolution control by adjusting the forward cup position.
• It offers finger support for greater strength.
• It also minimizes the pain afterwards.
• It’s easy enough to put on and take off.
• The cost is reasonable, as other gloves that use duraluminum can cost twice as much.

Cons

• We were able to find this only in XL.
• It’s awkward to use at first, and you’ll also need time to learn about making the screw adjustments.

Robby’s Revs II Right Hand

Pros

• Many users have reported that they’ve achieved their best bowling scores when using this particular glove.
• It uses duraluminum as well. It’s extremely lightweight, yet it’s also strong and durable.
• You’re able to control the revs of the bowling bowl extremely well. You have your choice of 4 forward wrist cup positions. The lateral adjustments let you change the bowling ball’s forward roll and spin.
• The extended finger support gives you more power, which you’ll need with lanes that feature heavier oil.
• It actually looks great. Some bowling gloves look a bit too silly and pretentious. This one gives you more of a “pro” look.

Cons

• It’s quite expensive due to the use of the duraluminum.
• It will take a long while for you to learn how to make the right adjustments on the glove. This isn’t intuitive—you will really need to read the instruction manual.

Brunswick Shot Repeater X

Pros

• The design is specifically meant to get your hand into the right position consistently. That’s why the design is quite firm. This is why it uses metal inserts on the front and back of the already-strong glove material.
• Having your hand in the right position consistently prevents pain afterwards.
• The glove also uses lightweight fabric to absorb the sweat from your hands.
• It’s easy enough to remove when it’s not your turn, and it’s also easy to put back on.

Cons

• The metal inserts will cause your hand to sweat quite a bit.
• There’s no XXL option.

Final Words

A good bowling wrist support glove is crucial for newbies, and even the pros wear them. Pick one that suits you best and enjoy the improved bowling scores.
