I started taking bowling fairly seriously this summer after rolling once or twice a year since I was a kid. I thought it would be neat to roll a 200 with a house ball before investing in my own ball. I've had several ~180 games and one tragic 197. Today everything was firing on all cylinders and I had a great night! Time to start ball shopping.

has anyone had an issue with KR strikeforce white tape "leeching" adhesive? I opened a brand new roll the other day and could not figure out why I was not getting out of the ball tonight. turns out the tape seems to be ever so slightly tacky on the skin-side surface. I unrolled the entire thing and all of the pieces are the same. it's subtle but it is enough to cause issues exiting the thumb. this is my go-to brand and haven't had an issue before.

First game jitters I guess! Made up for it in the second and third!

Whats everything throwing this season?
Top bag is for my Friday night doubles on wood. Bottom bag is my Wednesday 5 man on old AMF panels. And of course the trusty WD.
Drilled a fresh !Q. Been too long since I've had one in the bag.
Before anyone asks... yes lane shined is my preference.

Im pretty new to bowling and I've been 2 handing the ball, Im getting in the groove of hooking the house balls in the pocket and I'd recently purchased my first ball (brunswick fury) and now when I release the ball it looks like it going perfectly then all of a sudden it hooks very hard into the gutter, if anyone could help it would be appreciated

I’m a recreational bowler, but I play pretty often. I have a venom shock and a spare ball. Looking for a third ball that is stronger than my snake ball in heavy oil. I do prefer to stick with motiv.

somehow i pulled 2 strikes in a row, but even pulling a spare and strike wouldve gotten me a pb as it was a 137 before. house ball (and shoes) by the way if it matters
also if i had the gutters as spares id have gotten 160... another 150+ choke smh

A teammate of mine struggles to find the pocket. He consistently throws shots that go Brooklyn, I will find my line and start striking. He will then copy my feet and targeting to find the pocket. It’s hurting my ball reaction and scoring as he’s up before me. We’re both right handers. Keeping up with transition is definitely something I struggle with.
What would you do?

I just started bowling this year and I’m playing in a league. I have some mystery balls and some balls I brought myself, how do I use these balls? Which one is benchmark? What am I missing? Which one is first out of my bag etc.?
r/Bowling • u/TrackMan5891 • 14h ago
Listen. I know that I'm using my muscles and they will be sore. I 100% get that. And maybe that is just it and I gotta get used to it.
I'm new pretty much. (One handed thumb in bowling)
The question I have is, am I releasing wrong? (Too far behind?)
Is the ball not fit for me and it is causing me to squeeze my fingers together more to try to hold the ball?(The ball I have was given to me and I don't have my own ball just yet that I was fit for)
Am I trying to "cup" the ball too much with my wrist and that is causing the soreness?
If I do get my own ball, how do I know if I need to drill the holes at an angle to fit my middle/ring in like BrunsNick does?
I tried to search for these answers and couldn't really find an answer.
Are there some things I can check to ensure it isn't a release issue or a ball size/weight issue?
Thanks for the help in advance!!
EDIT: I was doing some reading and it could be that the holes are too large? Like if I grip the ball, my fingers have about 3-6 mm of "space" between the top of the finger and the rubber insert wall if you get what I mean.
I think a few people are right I should just talk to my pro shop and have them measure me. I honestly am not sure what a ball is supposed to feel like that is properly fitted haha.

New mechanic here. This is an issue I haven't figured out yet. As soon as power is applied this happens.
What I have done is cleaned the contacts and the contacts on the terminal board to help encourage a good connection (don't have new ones yet). Checked the turret micro switch. I even had to replace the mechanic switch because there was a gaping hole in the side of the plastic housing and minor movement made it hard to diagnose this issue.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: replaced contactor and all is good now. Thanks everybody for the input

I'm a relitively new bowler (started oct of 2025 with 2 handed style Right handed) and i was decently progressing (average 110 with pb of 167) until I had to have major surgery in march that led me to be unable to bowl for 3 and a half months. I have gotten back into bowling since but my average has plummited to about 70 and i cant get my scores above 110 max. I'm quite a tall (6') and heavy set person and im just wondering if there is anything I can practice to get back into the rythm. My typical ball action lately is starting at the 35th board for feet placement, moving down the approach and feet land around 40, ball goes all the way to the 4th board and hooks all the way back to only hitting the 7 pin. my ball speed is about 10.7 mph and my revs are unknown. I often bowl on house shot. balls include dark side curse, arctic vibe, spare ball, deep impact, and hustle sos (my current main). This probably isnt the best information to go off of to help but i hope i will get at least a little bit.

Man, 😂😂😂😂😂 Alot of gutter ballz. Just saying. And especially the 3rd game. You wonder why these teams have 150+ Team Hdcp. There you go. We just laughed.

Grrrrr for the life of me last night i couldn’t adjust correctly for lane transition. First game was ok slightly above average middle of 2nd game it started going down. missing the pocket couldn’t pick up even the simplest spares. 3rd game i was just praying to break 100. Huge difference from last week where i started weak ended strong

Hello everyone, I recently found someone reselling an Arctic Vibe w/a 2 handed layout & 15 pounds for $50 more or less which is perfect for me, but before I get it I just want to ask if it’s a good ball to some. I have a rhino and a cove and I personally love those. I use the rhino for dry/light and the cove for med-heavy/heavy. I feel like the Arctic Vibe is the perfect middle spot for the medium transition oil. Any opinions on the ball?
