"I like to use black tape in the back
of my thumb hole (1 piece on top of a white piece), so when I
talked to Ron about his invention called the "Magic Carpet", I was
anxious to try it. I also use about 4-6 pieces of white tape in
the front of the thumb hole. When I received
the carpets to try I immediately removed the tape from the back of the hole and inserted
one of them into each of my two favorite balls. I had roughed up
the surface before I placed them in because it was my
understanding that it would take 5 to 6 games for them to wear in
and that in the mean time my thumb may get a little red. So it did
for the first night I used them but very minimal. I needed to
remove 3 pieces of tape from the front of the hole after I placed
the carpets in but soon found out that I could add one of the
pieces back in. I was amazed at how tight my thumb felt and it
felt soft behind my thumb but what was more amazing to me was that
my thumb came out of the ball like I had no tape in it at all.
What I mean is that I had the cleanest release that I have ever
experienced in my 25 years of bowling. I have also noticed little
to no swelling of my thumb while bowling. My second week of
bowling with the Magic
Carpets proved to me what an awesome product Ron
has developed. In my third game of league play I bowled my third
perfect 300 game of my career. My first and second 300's where
bowled 6 years ago along with an 815 series and I was wondering
when I would be blessed by the bowling gods to repeat that feat. I
consider myself an accomplished bowler that has won numerous
leagues and tournaments including my associations all events
scratch title in 1997. I give a lot of the credit for my recent
success to The Magic Carpets. In just one week with them I have thrown
a perfect game. Maybe its coincidence but I think not. Thank you
Ron for supplying me with the tools that I needed for my recent
success and encourage all bowlers to give
these carpets a test for themselves. Good luck and great
bowling."

A note from Ron: Carlo now has two more Magic Carpet 300s !!!!!!
This was a letter
sent to me in November 2001
Dear Ron
A friend of mine started me on the use of Ron C's Magic Carpet
last year and now I want to order some for myself and to pay him
back.
It's the best item I've ever used. I've been bowling for over 40
years. I am now 72 and still bowling like a "champ"
with the help of your Magic Carpet. Thanks a lot for your help.

Ron, speaking from first hand experience,
they are great. After getting my sample and putting it in my ball, I
have never had a better fit. Showed it to several friends and as a
result, you are getting an order from me. While some said that they
noted some redness on the back of the thumb, I think their hole was
fairly snug to begin with and then the carpet made the fit too snug.
If done correctly, it is the best thing since sliced bread. If my
testimony to your product increases your sales, I will expect a
commission check in the mail. Sawbones

This product is magic. I put one in a somewhat old ball to check
it out. What I found was, the greatest feeling thumbhole I have ever
had. I tried to throw another ball I have without it and I couldn't. I
had to put a piece in every ball I have. All I have got to say is you
have got to try this. This is a great idea, and I am going to start
selling them in my pro shop. Great job on a great product. Ron, you
are the man.
