How To Buy A Bowling Ball
How To Buy A Bowling Ball
I want to buy a bowling ball?


I bowl in a league, and conditions are dry to med. oil.? I currently throw a blem. ball, pearl resin. Doesn't move a lot, is a good ball for this house (i stand three boards left of the center dot & throw out over the 8-9 board). I want something that hooks a little more aggressively (had a problem with late hits, not entering pocket good). I'm looking to spend $150-200.

Also good ball for oily cond.

For dry to medium oil, a reactive resin pearl bowling ball at your price range would be the Columbia Big Shot at around $125, the Brunswick Fury or Total Inferno for $125, the Hammer Black Widow or No Mercy for $150 and probably the Ebonite NV for $150. (these are online prices. drilling will be extra at your local pro shop) I've used these bowling balls so I'm familiar with them and know of their potential and how they can provide excellent pin action with minimal single pin leaves.

Just let the pro shop owner know what budget you are looking to work with and if you need a more aggressive reaction, don't go for a higher priced ball upsell, just ask him to drill it "exotic" so that a lower price ball will react like a professional threw it. That way, you'll save money in the long run for polish and cloths because bowling balls need to be conditioned after each use in order to keep their performance.

For bargain prices, try bowling.com, bowlingball.com, bowlersparadise.com and bowlingballsales.com.

Good luck!

Which Bowling Ball Should I Buy?


So it is mid season and my bowling balls are not producing the numbers I think I should be achieving. I have a 208 average and through a cranker style shot. I narrowed my choices down to two balls; The Total NV and The Angular One. Price ranges are the same so that doesn't matter. Which one should I buy?

Go for either one. Just let the pro shop know you'd like to have an exotic drilling like the PBA bowlers so that you will not have any trouble with non-reaction. I bowl exclusively with Brunswick equipment and can make the lowest hooking reactive or particle ball hook just by using an exotic drilling. It will save you money in the future, as long as you keep the coverstock fresh with polish or rejuvenator. Hope this helps!
