Product Description
Dial in a faster release with the KR Strikeforce Slide Pad #9, made specifically for right-handed bowlers' slide shoe. Unlike KR's Universal pads that trim to fit either side, this pad is built and numbered specifically for the Right-Handed setup, giving you a pad that's purpose-made for your slide foot from the start.
On KR Strikeforce's slide numbering scale, lower numbers mean more brake and less slide, while higher numbers mean more slide with less resistance. The #9 lands near the top of the lineup — between the #8 and #10 pads — making it a strong pick when your slide feels too short, or when fresh lane conditioning leaves the approach sticky and slow.
This pad trims easily to fit and is compatible with KR Strikeforce High Performance shoes as well as any other brand of interchangeable bowling shoe. To install, remove your existing sole, use it as a template on the new pad, trace the outline, and trim with a sharp pair of scissors for a clean, custom fit.
Whether you're chasing extra glide on a stubborn approach or rounding out a fuller rotation of slide numbers for different centers, the Right-Hand #9 pad is a simple, dependable way to keep your slide consistent.
Why right-handed bowlers choose the #9 pad:
-
Built specifically for the Right-Handed slide setup (SKU S09-RX)
-
High-slide level — between the #8 and #10 pads on KR's numbering scale
-
Ideal for sticky or heavily conditioned approaches that need extra glide
-
Trims easily to fit your exact shoe size
-
Compatible with KR Strikeforce shoes and any other interchangeable-sole brand
KR Strikeforce Replacement Right Hand Sole - S9 FAQ
Q: How is this different from KR's Universal slide pad?
A: The Universal pad is a single trim-to-fit sole meant to work on either the right or left shoe. This pad is part of KR's hand-specific lineup, designated and numbered specifically for the Right-Handed slide setup.
Q: How much slide does the #9 pad provide?
A: It sits near the top of KR's slide scale — more slide than a #8 pad, less than a #10 — a good option when your slide feels too short or your approach is sticky.
Q: Will this fit shoes from other brands?
A: Yes — while it's built for the Right-Handed setup, it's compatible with any brand of interchangeable bowling shoe, not just KR Strikeforce.
Q: How do I install this pad?
A: Remove your existing slide sole, use it as a template on the new pad, trace the outline, and trim with scissors before attaching it to your slide shoe.
Q: When should I replace my slide pad?
A: Replace it when it feels worn, sticky, or inconsistent, or when you want to adjust your slide level for different lane conditions.
Q: Is there a Left-Handed version of this pad?
A: Yes, KR Strikeforce offers the same #9 pad in a Left-Handed designation (SKU 34000009LH) for left-handed bowlers.
