I always liked going front to back in between shots. But this video was intended for just general shoe care, we have so many clients come into the shop with black soles and never clean the slide pad that I felt we needed to shoot a short video just for that and put it on our monitors in the shop. But yes great comment, thank you.
any proshop should have a shoe brush in stock. Most brushes are made of brass if i'm not mistaken. You can also find some made with vinyl bristles that will do the trick just fine, i show it at the 1:05 mark, that is the Brunswick branded brush.
Yes slide stone would be a great in-game replacement for powder. However, for recovery maintenance, similar to the example of my son's shoe, we needed to do much more than just hit it with a slide stone. Thanks for the comment and it is a valid point, thanks for sharing that.
Agreed, however we wanted to educate bowlers on how to care for their shoes if they are in bad shape. I get too many clients that come in with black soles and don’t do anything to their soles, so we felt the need to do a video to explain how to bring beat up shoes back to life.
Great video, never thought to try and refresh them. I always just replace them. Will give it a try.
Thanks for making the video it was really helpful I was able to fix my son’s shoes using your instructions. Thanks.
You should talk about brush direction: Front to back, back to front, side to side..

What kind of wire brush? It’s hard to see exactly what the brush looks like.

What about a slide stone?

powder is illegal in competition

I really hate when people use slide powders. It should be banned by every bowling alley.
Agreed, during play it isn’t recommended, however for bringing this pair of shoes back to life, it’s an important part to do off the lanes.
