How do I pick the right bowling ball weight?

The general guideline is to pick a ball that’s about 10% of your body weight. 16 lbs is the max weight. So, if you weigh 150 lbs, you’d get a 15 lb ball. You may need a heavier or lighter ball depending on how it feels.

What are the types of cheap bowling balls on sale?

Bowling balls are categorized by their coverstock material (the outermost shell of a ball) and finish. The main types are plastic balls for straight shots and spares, urethane balls for a smooth, predictable hook, and reactive resin balls for strong hook potential.

How do I care for bowling balls?

You should wipe your bowling ball with a shammy after every throw to remove oil; spray and wipe it down with a cleaner after every session. Your bowling ball should also be transported in a padded bag to protect it from scratches.

Are expensive bowling balls better than cheap ones?

Not necessarily. The “best” ball is one that matches your skill level and lane conditions – not the one with the highest price. Beginners often benefit from entry-level balls that are easier to control. More advanced players typically need the versatility and stronger cores of high-performance bowling balls.
