Kids bowling

I have a 3 year old son who seems to like bowling. He seems delighted at the aspect of having his own ball and shoes. Obviously it depends on the child, but in general, do you think it would be worth it to get my son a 6 lb bowling ball (drilled conventional)? Anyone have any experiences with this? I know Tiger was hitting bombs at age 3, but a bowling ball is a bit heavier

I coach kids every Saturday morning. If he can hold the ball to throw its ok. If not don't drill the ball leave it holeless and let him throw it that way until he develops the strength to throw it the right way.

My 3 year old also love bowling and we bought her, her own ball but have not drilled it. The reason we have not drilled it is her lack of strength in holding a ball with just her fingers and thumb. She has fun and that is all that matters.....

Buying a ball and not even drilling it - I didn't even think of that! That is actually a great idea.
Thanks!

Yes, purchase the ball and do not drill it. I would not purchase shoes for him until he gets bigger or gets to a competative point where the rentals are hindering him. You would end up buying 2 pair a year.
