a gripping surface on said tubular member, a
plurality of gripping members on said gripping surface
for contacting a bowling ball, said gripping surface
being curved, said gripping members comprising
projections having desired configurations such that tips
of said projections define a curve which has a curvature
substantially like a curvature of the bowling ball, and
when force is exerted by the bowler on the ball[,] the
gripping members flatten providing a larger surface to
grip the ball enabling the bowler to better initiate
rotation as the bowling ball is released.
