What ball weight should I get?
Before you purchase a ball, bowl with various weights until you find the weight that is best suited for you. The weight of the ball should be roughly ten percent of your body weight. Start out with the heaviest, but most comfortable weight. You want to be able to comfortably roll the ball without hurting your back. When purchasing a ball, a good rule to go by is to choose a ball that is one to two pounds heavier than the house ball you are bowling with. The reason being is that the grip on the house ball is incorrect and a custom fit ball will feel much lighter because it will be easier to hold on to.
If you are a novice, bowl three games in a row and by the third game your ball may start to feel a bit heavy. This is normal. A ball that is made just for you can increase your score. In other words, it provides consistency. Having finger holes drilled to your hand specifications will keep your hand relaxed and let you roll the ball with little effort.
Once you know the ball weight you need, you can use our Advanced Ball Search to find all balls in your weight quickly and easily.
