Question: How do I choose the right sole and heel combination?
A: Start by testing your current slide on the approach. If you stick too early, try a higher-numbered sole (more slide). If you slide too far, use a lower-numbered sole. For heels, stronger rubber heels (lower numbers like H2-H4) provide quicker stopping power, while moderate heels (H5-H6) offer more gradual braking. Most bowlers begin with S6-S8 soles and H5 heels.
