Bowling : About Bowling Balls & Grips [1996]


Most bowlers, especially girls, choose a ball

which looks pretty ! Actually, there is a number of factors which you should consider in buying a bowling ball including the weight, surface type, grip etc.

1. Weight
Generally, the ideal weight for a hook bowler is 10 % of your body weight. Spinners prefer light balls in the 10 lb range.

2. Surface Type
Buy a hard ball if your favourite alley has slow lanes ie hooking lanes. Penang Bowl is such an alley.
If the lanes are fast, a soft ball is preferred to counter the oily lanes. Top Bowl generally has oiler (faster) lanes than Penang Bowl.

3. Grips
There are 3 basic types of drilling :
Conventional - straight ball for beginners
Semi-fingertip - Hook Ball
Full Fingertip - Hook ball for advance bowlers
