    The pearlized coverstock gives the ball length, while the 1500 grit polish helped give it backend.

    Use this bowling ball to travel down Victory Road.

    Bowling Shoes For Kids 

    When purchasing a pair of bowling shoes for kids, there are few things to consider.

    The main question to ask is “how far will my kid want to go in bowling?” Why purchase bowling shoes for someone that doesn’t really want to take the sport seriously.

    Bowling shoes play a very important role in this sport. But it’s important to decide weather you want to look good, or perform well.

    Bowling shoes for kids come in variety of colors and designs. bowlingball.com carries many of them from the styles like Dexter’s Youth Bonesy Jr. or Etonics Glo-Alien youth bowling shoes.

    Circle Bowling Shoes 

    As a programmer, I am constantly amazed at search engine technology.  Doing a search for Circle Bowling Shoes often turns up irrelavant results.  Maybe not irrelavant, but many of the top resulting e-commerce sites only have one or two styles.  And each of those will only be available in one or two sizes.

    Bowlingball.com has thousands of pairs of Cirlce Bowling Shoes available at unbelievable prices.  There are so many colors to choose from for men, women, and children.

    How-To Choose the Right Bowling Shoes 

    Bowling Shoes are arguably one of the most disregarded pieces of bowling equipment.  They can be almost as important as the bowling ball itself.  Many people think “Why buy a pair, the bowling center has them?”, which is true.  But how often do you share shoes with someone you don’t know.  Sure the bowling center sprays them, but they are never really clean.  You wouldn’t go play tennis without a tennis raquet, would you?

    Beside bowling shoes are cheap today.  For the price of renting a pair of shoes 3 or 4 times, you can own your own pair that will hold up for hundreds of games, if not more.

    When you are ready to choose a pair of bowling shoes, please read “Help Choosing the Right Bowling Shoes” by Keith Spear of bowlingball.com.

    Why Purchase Used Bowling Shoes 

    As bowlingball.com’s article Used Bowling Shoes clearly points out, there should be no real reason to purchase used bowling shoes in today’s market.  Bowlingball.com has some outstanding prices on bowling shoes starting less than $20.  That’s roughly four rentals at your local bowling center, and your feet don’t have to share time with other stinky feet.

      hello , I have questions in my mind about the counter wieghts in the ball and how they affect the hook on the ball and if it matters how you drill the ball with different core wieghts. I have a storm furious and just cant make it hook like it should. I think it could be the wy it was drilled ,or not . could be me , bu ti need to know this. I am not very experienced bowler , sometimes it does and most times it just has back end motion . thank you fo ryour time …….mike

      Hi Mike,

      Everything depends on your release being very consistent. Your release affects your positive axis point (PAP) and your PAP dictates how you should drill the ball.

      Watch Talk Bowling episode #15 for some more information about your PAP.

    Bowling Shoes 

    Often, many people do not realize how easy it is to own their own bowling shoes.  How often have you gone into a bowling center and watched them spray down the bowling shoes that have been on someone else’s stinky sweaty feet?

    For as little as $20 you can get your own bowling shoes from bowlingball.com.  When you do the math, most bowling centers are charging up to $4 to rent shoes.  So if you use the shoes just 5 times, then they have paid for themselves.  As you become a better bowler, you will see the benefits of the higher end, more expensive bowling shoes.  But if you are an occasional bowler that just wants to have fun, then the cheap bowling shoes are the way to go.

    Bowling Practice: Less Shoe Slide 

    My father-in-law and I went bowling on Sunday, and I used it as a bowling practice session. 

    My goal right now is to slide less.  Often after I release my bowling ball, I feel as if I am still sliding.  I feel that this act makes my release inconsistent.  Which affects my ball speed.  As I have gotten more aggressive in my follow through, the slide has gotten worse. 

    I used to wear a #10 [bowlingball value="2382"/], which is the most slide.  Last year I moved down to a #8 [bowlingball value="2382"/] and have been very comfortable with that.  I feel that my swing has continued to progress (even though average doesn’t prove it), and it is time to make another adjustment in my bowling shoes.  So Sunday I spent the entire 5 game practice series working on my timing while sliding less.  To do this, I changed my sole to a #6 [bowlingball value="2382"/].

    Don’t get too caught up in the numbers.  If you bowl in different bowling centers, then you should know that the approach differs from one to the next.  Just because a #6 works in center “A”, doesn’t mean the slide will be the same in center “B”.  This is very important to understand so that you don’t get up to throw a ball without testing your slide first.  You don’t want to end up doing a face plant on the lane surface.

    Bowling practice is important, but it is more important to have a goal.  I had fun, but my main purpose was to work on my timing.  I feel I accomplished this for the most part.

    Bowling Shoes 

    I haven’t gotten a new pair of bowling shoes in a few years. I have been using the [bowlingball value="2117"/] and was ready for a new pair. Sure, I could have replaced the shoe strings and the replaceable soles, but what fun is that when you can have a brand new shiny pair of [bowlingball value="6330"/]?

    Dexter came in and showed us there 2008/2009 line of Dexter Bowling Shoes. I must say, the innovation in the [bowlingball value="6330"/] is exceptional, especially from a business point of view. They made the bottoms of the shoes the exact same, which means that we don’t have to stock both left and right handed bowling shoes.

    I have been using my new shoes now for about 4 weeks and really like them.  I have been playing with my slide sole a little bit, trying to slide a little less.  It’s not easy because I am used to sliding a lot.  I used to use S10, which is the most slide.  I have been able to adjust to an S8, and would like to work down to an S6 sometime soon.  I need much more practice though.
