Having A Bowling Ball Drilled
What size bowling ball should I use?
Currently when I goto the bowling alley, I grab a plastic house ball that is normally 12-13 lbs heavy. I normally use a ball that my thumb and fingers are about 2-2 1/2 inches apart. My buddy just gave me his Ebonite 100 Nitro/R2 15 lb ball which is drilled to his specifications. Our hands are the same size. I need some advice on wether or not I should use a lighter ball. Going thru the motions with his ball tonight, my hands are flat on the ball and I think my wrist may be too weak. Do all good bowlers have their balls drilled so that their hands are flat with the ball? Would it be smart to buy say a 13 lb bowling ball instead? I am thinking that maybe the holes are drilled too far apart for me to be comfortable with my wrist. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am 5'11 200 lbs and I am a strong kid, shouldn't I be using a heavy ball?
The lightest bowling ball you should use is a 14 pounder. It's not a matter of how it will strike the pins or what score you can get, but a matter of comfort. If a 15 or 16 pounder is not too heavy, go for it. To get ready for constant bowling, lifting weights and constantly practicing with the heavier weight bowling equipment will help your wrist get stronger. Also, there are wrist and arm supports that will help you hold the ball up before delivery and assist you in not wearing your wrist and arm out too quick.
I've been bowling for over 25 years and have used different weights, manufacturers' equipment and types of bowling balls, and it is not an easy sport to learn or master. Practice and experimentation is the key to make it fun. Good luck!
