You don’t have anyone else’s hands. Why would you use someone else’s ball?
Every bowling ball has its own personality. The difference that makes each unique is in its core. A ball’s core is dynamically imbalanced to give a ball a certain pitch as it rolls down the lane. Therefore, the way a ball flares as it rolls down the lane is unlike any other ball.
As bowlers, we all have our own styles and techniques, our own quirks, talents and attributes that make our game all our own. That’s why we bowl. Bowling is a mark of the individual, a way of pitting ourselves against our very best, competing against our own all-time score. Sure, if you’re in a league, you may be competing with lots of bowlers among numerous teams, but really, in essence, you’re playing against yourself, against the very best you can possibly be.
We each bring a special personality to bowling. The leverage we give a ball, the speed at which we throw, as well as the length of our arms and the straightness of our pitch, all combine to fit our own bowling personality. Our styles, our drive, our passions make us bowlers. It’s who we are.
Since we all bowl unique, our balls should be unique. Your bowling ball should be specially designed to fit your hand as well as your strength and preferences. Weight is especially important. Some balls are weighted heavily in the center for an easier spin others are weighted towards the cover of the ball where the drive is slower, but steadier.
Finger hole placement is especially important. The way the holes are arranged on the ball change the whole scope of the ball’s dynamics, including its hook and roll down the lane. Using a ball with holes correctly drilled to match the exact bowler’s finger specifications, an average bowler can easily throw a two-pound heavier ball, knocking far more pins on average than a typical alley ball.
If you are really ready to get serious about bowling, a customized bowling ball will surely improve not only your game, but your enjoyment of the sport as well. There’s a contented feeling knowing you own a ball specifically meant for your unique hands, strength and style specifications, not to mention that satisfaction when you bowl strike after strike again and again.
