Here is a Complete Guide For Buying Bowling Equipment!
By Joseph Park

If you have decided to take up tenpin bowling as your new hobby it is probably a good idea to purchase your own bowling equipment. Of course, it is not completely necessary to buy bowling equipment, you can continue to use whatever that's available at the bowling alley. However, buying bowling equipment which is made to suit your bowling level and style, will surely improve your game. Below I have listed equipment and some things you may want to consider before you purchase your own!

Buying a bowling ball

Buying your own bowling ball is beneficial because it is made for your weight and the holes can be drilled and spaced according to your fingers. The material your bowling ball will be made of will depend on your level and style of playing. You can buy a new entry level ball for about $50-$100, from there they can go for up to $300.

There are loads of balls to choose from when buying your own ball and the most popular brands are Elite, Morich, Hammer, Brunswick and Storm. Also, consider buying a second-hand ball because you can get some great deals and save a lot of money! Search online for second-hand bowling equipment or look on eBay when buying your own bowling ball for less.

Buying bowling shoes

If you are serious about buying equipment for your new hobby or simply don't like wearing used shoes, then you may want to buy bowling shoes of your own. You can buy one which is suited to your playing style. Beginner shoes (like the ones you can rent) have two slippery soles and cost as little as $25.

On the other hand, more experienced bowlers buy bowling shoes which have two different soles; one for sliding and one for braking. One sole is slippery to help with the slide and the other is made of a material suited to braking.

Your sliding shoe will be on the side opposite to your bowling arm. If you are right-handed your sliding shoe will be your left one. Bowling shoes are very durable and should last a long time. The popular brands are Dexter, Brunswick, Circle or Linds.

Buying bowling bags

If you are buying bowling shoes or a bowling ball, then you will probably want to buy a bowling bag to keep your things organized and will ensure they do not get damaged. The good news is you can buy bags that are new online for very little cost ($10-$20).

Bowling accessories

Other things you may want to consider buying when you purchase your own equipment are wrist supports, gloves, polish/cleaner for your ball, towels or foam inserts for the holes in your ball. Like everything here, these are all easy to find online and do not cost that much.
