How do you know what weight to choose for a bowling ball?


Just try carrying each weight at the local pro shop to see how much you can handle. Most people use 12-16 lbs. 1for their bowling balls to start. It's just their preference and a matter of comfort.

I started out with 16 lbs., then dropped one pound of weight every 10 years so far (25 years bowling), so now I'm at 14 lbs. Nowadays, the coverstocks and cores of bowling balls will help you out on the lane even if your equipment's weight is lighter.

Good luck!
