How to choose the right bowling ball: 3 simple tips
Choosing the right bowling balls can have a profound effect not only on your performance, but also on your enjoyment of the game. V Bowling Customs Prague We're always happy to give you advice, of course, but here are some simple tips to help you when you're standing in front of a rack full of balls and wondering: "Which one is mine?"
1. Choose the right weight
The general rule says: bowling ball should weigh approximately 10 % of your body weight - but above all, it should feel good in your hand.
- If it's too heavy, you lose control
- If it is too light, it reduces the accuracy and stability of the throw
💡 Try a few balls - the best is what fits naturally in your hand.
2. Size of finger holes
A question that comes up a lot: How to choose a bowling ball according to the holes?
- Holes should be neither too tight nor too loose
- Fingers should slide in and out easily - without friction or tension
At our place in Bowling Celnice you will find balls of different sizes, weights and types for children and adults.
3. Try a few balls
Take your time. Take a few balls and try it out:
- grip
- attitude
- balance when throwing
🎳 The important thing is how the ball fits in your hand and if you have a good swing stable feeling. There is no shame in changing the ball after a few throws - on the contrary, even pros do it and most probably nobody even notices.
