When you're just starting to play bowling, it's not likely you'll own your own ball, and you're likely to rely on the balls that are provided at the alley. These are known as "house balls" and you'll plenty of them them sitting on racks near the lanes.
It is crucial to pick your ball with care. Bad matches could have a major impact on your score, while good matches can have a significant impact in the way you perform. Click this link: [url=https://bowlingimply.com/commercial-bowling-alley/]commercial bowling[/url] for effective information.
What are the things to look out for in a house ball
You should look out for holes in the finger and weights in houseballs. It is also important to examine the ball's exterior to ensure that there aren't any scratches or large chunks that could affect its ability to roll down the lanes.
Proper Ball Weight
The majority of the house balls include their weight on their cover. Some alleys may also employ a color-coded system to indicate the weights of different balls. Talk to the staff at the alley if they have any concerns.
Adult female bowlers should start with an 11-12 pound ball Adult males should be able manage a ball of 14-15 pounds.
Be aware that these are general guidelines. Your weight should be based on your body's shape and strength. Try these weights but be certain to alter it if it does not feel right.
There is also a simple test that you can try to determine if the ball is too heavy. Place the ball into your palm and lift your arm. For additional support, place your non-bowling arm beneath the ball, and hold it for 5 seconds. If the ball is too heavy, it is best to move down to a lighter version.
The Right Finger Holes
The hole for your thumb should be sufficient to let your thumb move out with no resistance. If the hole is too large, you will put too much strain on your thumb joint, which can lead to poor shots , and possibly even injury.
You want the finger holes to be big enough that you are able to insert your fingers completely up to the second knuckle. This is a traditional grip that should only be used with a ball. The middle and rings fingers must be relaxed and naturally stretched.
Even Better - Invest into Your Own Ball
While they are popular with beginners House balls do have significant disadvantages. The first is that no matter how long you look for the ideal ball regardless of how hard you try. Most likely, you'll have to settle for a satisfactory fit. And if the thumb hole is a good fit well, the fingers may appear a bit loose and vice versa.
Because house balls can be used by left- or right-handed people, both the fingers holes for both hands are equally. Your middle finger is bigger than the ring finger, but this can result in a less ideal fitting.
If you're using different tools It can be difficult to maintain the same consistency. Also, home balls can be quite different in the size and position of the holes for your fingers. You may settle for a good fitting, but it's better to purchase the right ball specifically for your hand. |
