Roto Grip Thickhide Shammy FAQ
What is the Roto Grip THICKHIDE Shammy used for?
It's a premium leather cleaning pad designed to instantly strip oil and lane conditioners off your bowling ball's surface, restoring tack and helping bring back aggressive backend motion the moment you step off the lane.
What makes the THICKHIDE different from a standard shammy?
The THICKHIDE is built from premium buffalo leather with a heavy-duty 4-layer tech foam core, giving it more aggressive oil-stripping power and durability than typical single-layer shammies, plus an ergonomic precision-fit design for better coverage and comfort.
Is it safe to use on all bowling balls?
Yes. The THICKHIDE is universal and all-ball safe, meaning it can be used on reactive resin, urethane, and plastic coverstocks without damaging the surface.
How often should I use the THICKHIDE during a game?
Many bowlers wipe their ball down every shot or every other shot, especially on heavier oil patterns, to prevent oil buildup and keep the ball reacting aggressively. Frequency ultimately depends on lane conditions and personal preference.
Why does the shammy have debossed logos?
The debossed Roto Grip logos aren't just for branding — they add texture to the surface that enhances your grip on the shammy while cleaning, in addition to giving it a premium look.
How do I care for the THICKHIDE Shammy?
Buffalo leather shammies should be hand cleaned as needed and stored dry between uses to preserve the leather's oil-stripping performance over time.
