Choosing A Bowling Ball For Beginners.

After they have learned the 4-step approach, the next thing a beginner should think about is how to pick out a bowling ball and perhaps getting their own ball. It is important to have a bowling ball that fits your hand and is comfortable. Until you are able to get your own ball you should try to pick out one that fits your hand at the bowling center, or if a friend has a ball that fits you well it is OK to use it.

Bowling is like most everything else you learn and progress in stages of experience. At the beginning stage of bowling a beginner starts out with a conventional grip ball, off the rack or borrowed from a friend. Then you will get your own ball. It is always best to have your own equipment�

The grip:(First the holes) Most beginners like their ball to have big holes which is OK. They should not be too big; neither should they be too tight. There should be a slight drag on the outside edge of your fingers and thumb, not so much that it causes the ball to stick to your hand.

(Now the span) The span is where the palm of your hand lays on the ball between the fingers and thumb hole.This should be measured as follows: Place your thumb in the thumb hole and your finger flat over the finger holes. The second crease on your middle two fingers should be about � inch over the first edge of finger holes on your bowling ball.

This is just a starting spot. Next put your hand in the ball middle two fingers first then the thumb and see how it feels. If it seems too stretched for you, then shorten up the distance. If it is too short then length it. In all fairness anything may feel funny at first. After you get used to it, it will feel like that old pair of leather boots...

Good Luck and Have Fun!

There are some places to browse for bowling balls on the side bar or in the resources section.
