Question: What is a fingertip grip in bowling?

Answer:

A fingertip grip means inserting your middle and ring fingers into the ball only up to the first knuckle, while your thumb goes all the way in. This creates a longer span so the ball rests more on your fingertips. It allows your thumb to exit first at release, giving your fingers more room to lift and rotate the ball for increased revs and hook.
