 The Bowling Ball
(How to choose your bowling ball)
Best to start with balls weighing 12-13 pounds. Numbers mark ball weights.
Weight of ball should be approximate 1/10kg of the total body weight. Raising or lowering of weights later will help insure accuracy and control.
Proper conventional fit:
Thumb should be loose enough to rotate thumb clockwise without friction. Stretch two middle fingers over finger holes. The second crease of each finger should extend about 1/4 inch beyond the inner edge of the holes.
Note: It is rare to get a perfect fit with house balls, a fair fit should suffice.
Ten Bowling Codes of Conduct.Alternative sub-head:
Ten Commandments of Bowling (Codes of Conduct)
1. Be prompt and know your right. Take your turn promptly on the lane and remember that the player to your right has the right of way.
2. Slow and steady, but do not dilly dally. Take your time, but do not pose for too long or wait until everyone is off the approaches.
3. Stick to your own approach. Stay on your own approach at all times.
4. Back off after delivery. Step back off the approach after making each delivery.
5. Use your own ball. Do not use another player's ball without permission.
6. Do not tamper approaches. Do not use chalk, resin or talcum powder to condition approaches. Others may like it the way it is.
7. Everyone concentrates. Good bowling requires concentration. Do not interfere when others bowl, as you would want the same when it is your turn. Confine teases at the bench or locker rooms.
8. Patience with pinsetting. Be ready to bowl only after the pinsetting machine has completed its cycle and the sweepbar is raised.
9. Respect the equipment. Respect the equipment, avoid lofting the ball, as it hurts your game and damages the lane.
10. Be a gracious winner and loser. Play to win, but be a gracious loser if you are on the short end of the count. Cheer up, you can always bowl to win again!
 Bowling Outfits
Comfort, relaxation, style!
If a bowler wants to bowl naturally and well, don clothes that provide freedom of movement.
However, for men, avoid wearing undershirts to bowl, and women, avoid wearing shorts or distracting attires.
Bowling Shoes
Bowling shoes for men, women and kids are available at the lanes at affordable rental fees. Although, frequent bowlers will feel more comfortable owning a pair!
Right-handers: The left sole of the bowling shoe is leather, and the right sole is rubber.
Left-handers: The right sole of the bowling show is leather, and the left sole is rubber.
Reason for leather soles is that it aids bowlers to slide smoothly to the foul line.
Happy bowling!
