h4te Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Any phaast bowlers here? Every time after I play, I have blood soaked socks. My left toe takes an absolute beating. I suppose it is slamming against the shoe. I have tried all sorts of shoes. I have even tried different sizes (half-size smaller, half-size bigger), and the same problem. Any insights into this matter?
Sachinism Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Yes, cut a hole in the shoe I've never bled from bowling, but have been in a lot of pain and have ended up with some serious blisters too

h4te Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 I did cut a hole in the shoe once, but when I did that, my toe grazed against the pitch because my toe came outside off the show, and it was even more painful. Then, I cut a smaller hole, and had the same problem of jamming the toe. I guess I just have to live with it :((
h4te Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 dumb**** well, i am kind of between sizes. So, I thought if there was less space between my toe and the end of the shoe, it wouldn't jam as hard. :haha:
nikred Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Owls are not biologically designed for phaast bowling.:P
Sachinism Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Don't make the hole so big that the toe can easily come out, but no so small that there is no give Also try not to make the hole right at the bottom (prevent grazing the ground)

ludhianvi Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Cutting a hole so the nail of the toe doesnt push against the shoe should be a good idea. The reason of the blood may be that the toe's nail is piercing the flesh. See the orientation of your nails. Another idea could be to wrap your toe up with something, so that there is some cushion as your toe strikes the front of the shoe.
Holysmoke Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 ehh? WTF u guys talking about? My toe never hurts after bowling.. my arms hurt the next morning...
suraj Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 ehh? WTF u guys talking about? My toe never hurts after bowling.. my arms hurt the next morning... Now cutting them may solve the problem but pace will go down a bit
h4te Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 ehh? WTF u guys talking about? My toe never hurts after bowling.. my arms hurt the next morning... we are talking about phaaaaast bowling....:hehe:
flamy Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 ehh? WTF u guys talking about? My toe never hurts after bowling.. my arms hurt the next morning... thats cuz you bowl just one ball and call it a day :hysterical:
Mr. Wicket Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 ehh? WTF u guys talking about? My toe never hurts after bowling.. my arms hurt the next morning... Try running up to the wicket then. :D
rahulrulezz Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 From what I believe, your toe puts too much pressure on shoes which results in the injury and blood...u gotta work on your follow-through.... while bowling, after the jump, all the body weights comes on your feets so u have to make sure to keep the momentum going...dont just stop to still after you bowl..make sure to take 3-4 extra steps after u jump and release the ball ...it will also help you to increase ya pace...
THX_1138 Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 cutting a toe is an ancient approach. i never had a problem this severe, but you might want to invest in a good nail clipper, soft cotton socks and some cotton wadding. lose some weight. i am not suggesting youre soft, its just that if you are a bit lightr, you carry lesser momentum.
