I would like advice on buying a ball
« on: February 26, 2007, 05:54:37 AM »
My girlfriend and I have been in a couples league for about 4 months and she has been using a house ball.  I wanted to make sure she wouldn't lose interest before I went out and bought her a ball so it wouldn't just sit in my locker (and to make sure she was still my girlfriend, haha).  I am now convinced she will use the ball because she enjoys bowling.  She gets frustrated because it is hard to be better than a spare bowler with a house ball.  I just recently purchased a more reactive ball and have enjoyed the small spike in my average but I bought the ball that the owner of the lanes recommended for me.  I have no reason to doubt his judgement but would like some outside opinion on what type of ball to get.  She feels most comfortable using a twelve pound ball. Any advice would be appreciated, sorry such a long message. Thanks!

moving up to reactive check out the power grooves by brunswick, the tornado series by ebonite, or the tropical series by storm, entry level equipment

Follow what works.  Your proshop was able to put you into a ball that helped your average, let him so the same for her.

A big plus IF she doesn't like it, she can't blame you for picking it out.

lmao


very good advice....

lmao

I second the first advices...

tornados
Tropicals

any entry level ball

also keep the weight in mind...
any good drilled-to-fit ball will feel lighter than the "not fitting anyone" house balls
