OK so you want to bowl ? First we need to get our equipment checked out. The Bowling Center's Rental Shoes will do, but selecting a bowling ball can be a little tricky. The correct fit , not the weight is important. Use this method to select that house bowlng ball from the rack: First stick you thumb in the ball, relax your thumb and slide it into the ball you sould feel a little contact or drag as you put your thumb out of the bowling ball. Next with your thumb in the bowling ball place your fingers in the ball (the ring and index finger) are The two fingers you use. A good fit is when your fingers go into the ball up to your second knuckles. What we are looking for is a little drag on the way out of the ball. However, most Bowling Center drill the house balls with large fingers and thumbs holes making a perfect fit off the rack almost impossible. So the most important fit is the thumb, loose finger holes are OK for now. A good rule in selecting the weight of the ball is to start at about ten percent (10%) of your body weight. Example: A bowler weighting a 100 pounds starts with a ten pound bowling ball, checking the thumb for a good fit. |
