Bowling Ball Layouts Bowlers
I'm a new bowler and need some help...
What kind of bowling ball should I purchase and what type of drilling layout is best? I don't hook the ball or anything, I just bowl straight. Any suggestions would be great since I'm starting in a league on Sept. 7th! Include website links if you can. Thanks!
I have been bowling for many years with the house balls and decided to get my own ball since I'm joining a league. I know what works well in terms of house balls, but they don't tell you what the specific drilling layout is and their balls are plastic coated versus the reactive resin coating (the resin coating is what I'm lookign for).
The thing about asking questions like that on here is that we have not seen you bowl. You've actually given us one telling detail, however, in saying that you don't hook the ball.
If you throw a straight ball, it doesn't matter what coverstock you're working with. You might very well be just fine with a plastic ball, actually! Now, if you plan on learning to hook the ball, that's a different story. If you do that, get a new ball, AND get a good coach for a couple of lessons to avoid starting out by learning bad habits.
Don't worry about drilling layouts; find a good pro shop, and they will take care of the drilling; good drilling isn't a matter of selecting from "small," "medium," and "large"; it's a matter of precise measurements and perfect fit. Your pro shop will fit you just fine. Just don't go to someplace like Sports Authority for that. You want a *bowling* authority, and well...let's just say they're not it.
I know you've been bowling for years, but honestly, when you jump up from a house ball, it's like learning to bowl again. You will want to think about a fingertip drilling if you plan on learning to hook the ball. Discuss these things with your pro shop. If they're a really good shop, they'll actually watch you bowl a bit to figure out what works for you.
If you need anything else, let us know!

“Bowling Alley”, “Bowling Center”, “The Bowl” and “House” are used interchangeably to describe the building where bowling takes place. Bowling alleys are usually comprised of many lanes (as many as 100 or more), but can be comprised of only a few lanes. Some people have a lane in their home, while I wouldn’t consider this a bowling alley, per se; it is in the most literal sense one. A single lane is sometimes referred to as a bowling alley. For the purposes of this article, a bowling alley or house will refer to a place where there are multiple lanes and games are purchased.
Where Are Bowling Alleys?
They are everywhere. Lately it seems that a lot more houses are closing due to property and maintenance prices getting to expensive, or lack of use. Looking in your local telephone book, you should be able to find quite a few houses in your area. Bowling is a very popular sport and therefore there are a lot of bowling alleys in most areas. If you can’t find one where you live, check the nearest city or big town, there’s bound to be one within driving distance of where you live.
Recently a large bowling stadium was constructed in Reno, NV (United States). If you want to see a really large house, that is the place to go. If you get a chance to bowl there it is really quite the thing! I have bowled there on several occasions and have really enjoyed it. The PBA (Pro Bowlers Association) has tournaments there as well as the USBC. A few of the tournaments that I know of that bowl there are the PBA, USBC Nationals, USBC Mixed, and the High Roller. This stadium was built expressly for the purpose of handling large bowling tournaments, and is not allowed to have leagues in it. It also has a very large Pro Shop (place to buy bowling stuff), that even has a bowling lane in it so that you can see everything! They will video tape your game and help you to figure out what you need to improve. It is quite impressive.
Bowling Center Layout
Most bowling alleys will have a desk (where you buy games), a bar, game room, at least one meeting room, a room to handle babysitting, and, of course, lanes! A lot of houses have a pro shop also.
The desk is usually situated somewhere near the center of the house and the bar is usually not far from it. For most bowlers that’s all you need to know about a bowling alley right there! Drinking and bowling go hand and hand for a lot of bowlers (not me, though). It’s no mistake that the bar is centralized in the bowling alley. The game room is usually centralized in the bowling alley also, and most of the time contains pool tables, video games, and pinball machines.
Meeting rooms can be anywhere in the bowling alley, and will seat anywhere from 25 – 100s of people. The meeting rooms are used for league meetings, receptions, birthday parties, etc…. Most of the time, one of the rooms will have toys and things in it for kids. This room is generally used for babysitting the children of the bowlers. Most bowling alleys offer free babysitting for children up to age 7 or 8 for league bowlers. This comes in very handy when you are bowling.
Pro shops are very popular in bowling alleys. Inside of the pro shop you can find just about anything that you need for bowling from balls and bags to shoes, brushes, and powder or resin. You can even get advice from a “pro”. Most of the pro shops are either owned by a professional bowler or have a professional on staff. Be careful though, not all of the people working in the pro shop are pros, and not all of them necessarily have your best interest at heart. There is a lot of stuff to be bought and if you are getting equipment, be sure that you are speaking to somebody who knows your game. Buying equipment for bowling is not as simple as getting a ball and shoes.
