Question: How do I choose a bowling ball based on my speed and rev rate?

Answer:

Determine if you are speed dominant (faster ball speed than revs), rev dominant (more revs than speed), or balanced. Speed dominant bowlers should choose stronger balls with more traction for better hook. Rev dominant bowlers need weaker balls to prevent over-hooking. Balanced bowlers do well with medium strength balls for versatility. Most new bowlers start with medium strength symmetrical core balls.
