Default magic carpet?

Is this stuff just velcro? I want to try it in my ball, but not sure what it is or where to get it.

You could get Magic Carpets from most pro shops or online. They are great to use. They are alittle on the expensive side but one other thing you might was to consider is finding strips of Velcro and use the fuzzy side. It's basicaly the same material and thickness. Just cut the pieces of velcro to fit .

Here's thie link to Ro C's web page . All the info about the magic carpets is listed.

If you use the fuzzy side of Velcro,you have to shave the fuzzy stuff down a little. Otherwise it's too snug and will take the skin off the back of your thumb. Use a piece of thumb tape for a pattern to cut them out.

Any real man uses the sharp, poky side of Velcro. It's how you tell the hardcore bowlers from the wannabes.

They're easy to find. Just follow the trail of blood.

It all depends on the size of the thumb hole. I do not know of anyone who shaves the fuzziness ( hmm has a nice warm sound to it ) down to fit.

The resaon you don't see alot of it in pro shops is it's expensive and the clientel who uses them are far and few in between.
