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.

FAQs

What makes the Storm Level different from a regular reactive resin ball?

The Storm Level uses an RPM (Regenerative Polymer Matrix) coverstock that behaves more like urethane in terms of smoothness and control, but still delivers the continuation and hook potential of a reactive ball. Most reactive balls can snap sharply at the back of the lane. This one arcs smoothly through the pins instead, making the motion more predictable frame after frame.

Is the Storm Level a good fit for beginner bowlers?

The Storm Level is better suited for experienced bowlers. Reactive resin balls like this one are more sensitive to how they're thrown, so bowlers still developing their technique may find it harder to control. If you're just starting out, a plastic or polyester ball is a more forgiving place to begin.

What lane conditions is the Storm Level designed for?

This ball performs best on medium to shorter oil patterns and sport shots. Its high-RG core helps it stay clean through the front of the lane, while the RPM coverstock grips well once it hits the friction zone. It also handles carrydown well, meaning it holds up as lane conditions break down during a session.

Does the RPM coverstock require any special maintenance?

Yes, and this is worth knowing before you buy. The RPM coverstock absorbs oil quickly, which helps it maintain a consistent reaction over multiple games. But that also means it needs regular cleaning and occasional deep cleaning to stay performing at its best. Wiping the ball down after every session is a good habit.

How does the Storm Level compare to a urethane bowling ball?

The storm level bowling ball is not a urethane ball, even though it shares some of urethane's smooth, controllable motion. Urethane is a synthetic material known for predictable arcs on dry lanes or shorter oil patterns. The Level's RPM coverstock mimics that feel but adds more continuation through the pins, which urethane typically doesn't offer.
