Bowling Balls For Sale

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you know what weight bowling ball to use?

It’s just a matter of following the 10% rule. In other words, you need to get a bowling ball that’s 10% of your total body weight (maximum of 16 pounds). So, if you weigh 150 pounds, you’ll want to find a ball that weighs 15 pounds. Fortunately, we have plenty of cheap bowling balls for sale for you to choose from.

Your ball must have some ‘weight,’ but it shouldn’t be too heavy that it’s uncomfortable to use. Likewise, it should not be too light, as you won’t have the ‘cue’ to swing your cool bowling ball.

Generally speaking, the recommended weights for the following players are as follows:

• Adult males - 14-16 pounds
• Adult females - 10-14 pounds
• Youth - 6-14 pounds

How do I buy my first bowling ball?

When checking out the bowling balls we sell, there is a lot to consider, as mentioned in our blog. It shouldn’t be too heavy or light, so it’s best to pick one within the 10 to 14-pound range. 

As for the coverstock, choose one that’s made of reactive resin, as it offers good control and hook potential. Opting for a cool bowling ball with a symmetric core, meanwhile, will help you get that consistent lane motion.
