FAQ

What type of bowling ball is good for beginners?

Plastic balls are best for straight shots. Entry-level reactive resin balls are best for beginners learning to hook, as they provide a mild, controllable hook. This allows you to learn the fundamentals without unpredictable hooks. 

Beginner bowling balls also often have symmetrical cores, which provide predictable, controllable motion, and weigh around 12-14 pounds for a balance of power and control.

Do entry-level bowling balls have any hook potential?

Yes. Entry-level balls are designed to provide a minimal hook, a technique where the ball travels in a curved path rather than a straight line for maximum strike potential. This is especially true for entry-level reactive resin balls (such as solid reactive). 

Plastic/polyester balls do not hook. They’re best for straight shots and spares.

How many bowling balls should a beginner have?

One bowling ball is usually enough for a beginner, since you’re building your skills and learning consistency. You’ll want to add a spare ball as you progress.

What bowling ball weight should I choose?

A good rule of thumb for beginners is to choose bowling balls that are 10% of your body weight, with 16 lbs as the maximum. Adults often begin with balls 12 to 14 lbs. You may go lighter or heavier depending on your comfort.
