Hi everyone,

I’d like to get your opinion about the fit of my bowling ball. Could you please take a look and tell me if the grip and the finger holes seem properly drilled and fitted for my hand?

The main thing that feels strange to me is that during the swing, I don’t really feel the ball resting or being supported by the palm of my hand, only with my fingers. I’m not sure if that’s normal or if the fit might be off.

Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

I’m still fairly new to bowling—I’ve been playing for about four months and usually average between 130–140. Right now I’m using a Hammer Raw Hybrid (14 lb) and a spare ball, and I practice about once a week.

At some alleys, I feel like my ball isn’t hooking, possibly because of too much oil. However, I suspect the main issue is my form/release, which I’m sure can be improved a lot. I’ve had several lessons (6–7), but I’m not improving as much as I’d like.

I understand that improvement takes practice, but I’m not sure if it’s just me struggling or if the ball might be too heavy for me or I just need a wrist support. Because of that, I feel like I can’t keep my hand under the ball properly at release. I don't know...

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

I've been bowling with my hammer raw hybrid and spare ball during the last 5 months, average 140-150 per game. I'm thinking on upgrading the ball to a better one, to benchmark ball (thinking on Venom Shock or Phase II). Do you consider is worth it to upgrade the ball or you will keep practicing with current ball?
