Question I'm a new bowler and I need to get a new ball. One that fits to my hand. There are different kinds of balls out there and I'm not sure which one to get. Like I said, I'm a new bowler so I don't want to spend too much money on my first ball. Please Help!
Answer If you want a ball that will give you some performace characteristics, I would look at Storm's Big Hit Particle, the Ebonite Tornado, or the Brusnwick Power Grooves. If you want to spend a bit more, look at the Sonic series from Roto Grip.
As your technique gets better, these balls will give you some high performance characteristics without the high performace price.
