My son is learning to bowl.. 10yrs old.. He rolls the ball around 11-13 mph...he's got the idea down for putting spin on the ball..why I'm asking is a gentlemen at one of the houses we bowl in has a 10# groove urethane{ blue sanded} ball CHEAP he wants to sell.. would this be a wrong choice to make for him ? should I just get him a plastic ball and let him learn more of the fundamentals or go ahead and get him this ball ? Some thoughts from you guys would be nice.. I don't want to get him started wrong..

THANKS

At 10 he should be strong and coordinated enough to attempt to throw a hook, not hardcore, all out, pro bowler type of thing, but it should be ok for him to do it on a week to week basis.

I agree w/MS.  Good choice and suggestion.

I had the same problem for my son at the beginning of the year...he's 9...we ended up going with a 10lb savage pearl (off ebay for something like $30 shipped)...works well for him.

I know hammer has modified cores in the deal and the BBP. Not sure about other companies.

RedNeckRoller -- At your son's age, he's going to want to see the ball break.  I would suggest getting him an entry level reactive resin ball.  All the major ball manufacturers have a line, Ebonite Tornados, Brunswick Power Grooves, Columbia Scouts, etc., and they're all good and similar in price.  --  JohnP
