Hello again! I got a lot of good answers yesterday on my post about the black widow 3.0.

It got me thinking about my bowling overall. Currently I bowl with no thumb one handed. I see a lot of talk online about no thumb bowling being common for beginners.

I plan to bowl for a long time. Is it recommended to go either 1 handed thumb in or 2 hand no thumb instead? Im just unsure if I bite the bullet and swing styles now while I’m new or just stick with what I’m doing.

Hello! I am rather new to bowling so go easy on me here lmao.

I picked up bowling around February. I stuck to house balls for a while but recently (2-3weeks ago) bought a black widow 3.0. Last night the mechanism in the back messed up and spit out my ball on the floor leaving a pretty good gash in it. The alley is fixing it and all is well. I bring that up because after I stopped using my ball, I hit my best game of a 194 with the house ball and averaged much higher the three games I used it.

I know that there is a learning curve to every ball, but the drastic difference in performance makes me feel like maybe I picked the wrong ball as my first. The black widow 3.0 just hooks so much for me. Most times hitting the left side of the pins.

I’m just unsure what to do next. Do I stick with it and learn the ball? Do I cut my loss and pick something different? Not sure if it’s helpful but I bowl one handed with no thumb for reference. Would love some guidance here.
