Getting the most out of your ability as a bowler brings a lot of factors into the equation one of which is learning to control the speed of your ball properly. The speed of your ball is a key factor in putting up good scores and doing it consistently. When the conditions of the lane vary you need to vary your ball speed if you’re planning on winning a lot of games. Scoping out the alley beforehand in order to determine whether or not it is oily or not is essential. Over the course of a tournament, the lane could slowly dry out, at which point you would want to pick up the speed of your ball and here’s how to do it correctly. (more…)

Fashion Meets Fun with Designer Bowling Ball Bags
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Let’s face it: bowling just isn’t the most stylish of games. Those plain shoes and standard black balls don’t exactly scream glamour. Luckily, there has never been a better time to introduce some fashionable pizzazz into your game, whether you’re a bowling fashionista yourself, or you’re a guy trying to entice your lady friend to the lanes. A wealth of accessories can let girls and guys create their own personal style on bowling night, one of the most popular being bowling ball bags.
Bowling ball bags come in all styles, shapes and sizes, from modern wheeled bags for the pro bowler who needs to cart his 7-ball arsenal to the lanes, to a retro-style bag for that one lucky ball that you just can’t bowl without. Recently, fashion designers have begun to recognize the potential of the bowling ball bag as a cool, must-have accessory, and now you can snag a bag from super-hot designers like Juicy Couture, Dior, and, yes, even Prada. These bags come in gorgeous patterns and colors, and can be worn on or off the lanes. Attention grabbing? Most definitely…but be prepared to pay shell out major bucks for one of these beauties, which are reported to have 4-digit numbers on the price tag!
Not interested in paying a small fortune for your bag? You can still hit the lanes in style with cute, vintage-style bags from less prestigious labels that won’t break the bank. Lots of retailers are marketing these bags in solid colors and retro patterns. You may not be able to find these bags at your local sporting goods store or pro bowler shop, but surf the web and you’ll be amazed at the options out there! You can find everything from a classic, understated look to over-the-top Hello Kitty adorableness. With all of these choices, you no longer have any excuse not to be a trendsetter at your local alley.
Clear Bowling Balls: Here to Stay, or a Passing Trend?
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Ever wonder where Bill Murray’s character got his killer bowling ball in the 1999 comedy “Kingpin”? If you secretly envied Murray’s clear ball with its striking red rose in the center, then you’re not alone; clear bowling balls have come back in style with a vengeance, making the lanes shimmer with their luminous style at PBA tours and family bowling alleys alike. These striking balls may seem like the key to psyching out your competitors and capturing attention, but you may want to think twice before shelling out big bucks for one of these trendy items.
If you’re an avid bowler, you may already know that a good bowling ball is constructed with a special core in the center. Different types of balls can have cores of different weights, thicknesses and shapes, and each of these factors affects how the ball will spin and fast it’ll go down the lane. Clear bowling balls with big images in the center (skulls, slot machines and roses being favorites) usually don’t have a core at all, in order to accommodate the picture. These types of balls are thus of lesser quality, and are best used during a casual game with family or friends, or when you have a super easy spare to make. You can order clear bowling balls with cores, but this will affect the ball’s overall appearance, and what’s more, you’ll have to drop some extra coin for a better performing ball.
Finally, remember that this ball is sure to catch attention-which may not be a good thing if you don’t always score a perfect 300! If you’re in doubt, you may want to leave the flashy balls to the high-scoring hot shots, or to kids who care less about their score than looking cool. There’s nothing wrong with sticking to a more decorous, solid-colored ball, after all. If you think you’ve got the guts and really want to make a big splash at the lanes, on the other hand, then go for it! Just remember to reserve the clear ball for the easier shots.
Perfect Time to Buy Bowling Ball Bags
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009If you haven’t bought yourself a new bowling ball bag in awhile, now is the perfect time to do so. Bowling ball bags have evolved over the past few years and now there are a number of different styles and designs that are better for your back. It is understandable that people get very attached to their bowling balls. They were made specifically for you and it is highly unlikely that your ball requirements will change over time if you are a full grown adult. But, just because you love your bowling ball that you bought in the 1970’s does not mean that you have to carry it around in that same old bowling bag.
Bowling ball bags are much more useful now than they were before. Not only do they hold your bowling ball and keep it from rolling around in your car, but they come on wheels, like the wheeled suit cases which eliminates a lot of the stress on your back from having to carry the ball around. If you have to park your car far away in the parking lot you will be thankful for your new wheeled bags, especially if you are carrying around a sixteen pounder. The older that you get, the harder it is to carry around a bowling ball. And if you have a child in a league it is always safest for them to carry their ball around in a bag, you won’t have to worry about any accidents.
And if you never bought yourself a bowling ball bag before, now would be a great time to do so. You can find great deals on bowling ball bags and find a style that suits your individual taste. The new wheeled bags are great. These bags are available in a number of different colors and you can have it monogrammed with your name on it. You can find a bag that matches the color of your ball or you could get a bag that is your favorite color. Regardless of your personal taste, there are bags available to suit your needs.
If you own your own bowling ball, you need a new bag to carry it around in. The wheeled bowling ball bags are great. They reduce the stress placed on your back and your shoulder from carrying the ball around. Now transporting your ball to and from the alley will be a breeze.
Hammer Bowling Balls
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Bowling is a game that dates back to ancient Egypt. The most common form of bowling is ten-pin bowling. Ten-pin bowling is usually played on 62 feet of maple and pine that are covered with a synthetic material. Bowling is played with a bowling ball made of urethane, plastic, reactive resin or a combination of these materials. This ball is rolled down the lane and the object is to knock all ten pins dons with the ball. Bowling pins are made of maple that is covered with nylon that is then dipped into latex to prevent cracking.
Bowling is a very competitive sport. Same as any other sport, there are multiple companies that make bowling equipment and accessories. One of these companies is Hammer Bowling and they make some of the best bowling balls. Hammer Bowling is a company that specializes in creating top-notch bowling balls. Hammer Bowling is owned by Ebonite International; a company that oversees the manufacturing of bowling balls and bowling equipment. Hammer bowling balls are made at Ebonite’s plant in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
Hammer Bowling sponsors many members of the Professional Bowlers Association and you can see their bowling balls in live action at any PBA tournament. Some of Hammer’s better-known bowling balls are the “Blue” Hammer, Black Widow Series, Hawg Series, No Mercy Series, Blade Series, and the Raw Hammer Series. Hammer Bowling has built a reputation and created a following of hard-core, in-your-face bowlers. Anyone who owns a Hammer bowling ball refers to himself or herself as a HammerHead. If you were serious about getting into bowling or looking for that tough bowling ball then Hammer Bowling would be a good place to start.
When choosing a Hammer bowling ball the first thing to take into consideration is the spacing of the finger holes. Even the lightest balls can cause damage to your hand if the finger holes are not spaced well for you. If you were an experienced bowler than spending extra on a custom ball to fit your fingers would be the best options so you do not damage your hand over time. Also, buying a Hammer bowling ball that is made to fit your hand and fingers will ensure you play your best game. Custom bowling balls are costly, however, and you should probably not consider buying one if you are just starting out.
