FAQ

What type of bowler is an 8-pound bowling ball best for?

8-pound balls are best for children, casual and recreational bowlers who prefer lighter balls for control, and bowlers with injuries or limited strength, such as those with arthritis. Some may also use these balls for spares.

Is an 8 lb bowling ball too light for adults?

Not necessarily. While most adults use balls that are 10-16 lbs, these bowling balls can be excellent for women, casual players, and those with less wrist strength. Consider your personal strength to determine whether it’ll be suitable for your play.

Will a 8-pound bowling ball hook?

These bowling balls are not designed to hook. This is because balls weighing less than 12-14 pounds do not have a true reactive core to hook/curve. Instead, they feature a “pancake” core that’s designed to roll straight. These balls are also made from plastic or polyester, which resists friction and rolls straight.

How do I know if my ball is too light?

To determine if it’s too light, extend your arm straight in front of you while holding the ball. If you can hold it for longer than 3-5 seconds, you can go heavier.

You can also swing the ball back and forth. If the ball feels like it’s moving your arm rather than your arm controlling the ball, it’s too light.
