Question
I want to purchace a bowling ball,but there is so many to choose from. I dont mind spending the money I just want to get the right ball.I am just starting to get into the game and want it to be fun.thanks

Answer
It really depends on what kind of reaction you are hoping to get from the ball.  If you are just starting, and still want some hook potential, I would look at the Brunswick Power Grooves, the Columbia Scout series, and the Storm Tropical Storm series.  All of these will grow with you as your level of performance increases.  If you stay in the game and want to go with more potential, then you can keep this ball to use for spares or for a dry lane ball.  If you want to take the next step up in performance potential, then you can look at the Hot Rod Series that Storm has or the Fire series that Ebonite has.

Good luck and if you have any more questions, you can email me at chip@collinsbowling.com
