Bowling Equipment?

Looking into getting some low-end bowling equipment.





How much does it cost for a fairly cheap ball and shoes?





Also what are some good places/companies that sell equipment for someone just starting to get serious but doesnt want to spend alot?





Thanks

Bowling Equipment?
Most bowling alleys have pro shops. Even if you are a beginner starting out, you will want to get fitted so they can drill your grips properly. Do not let them sell you reactive resin balls and the whole alley.





I would suggest a fairly simple plastic Zone (name brand is Zone). They range around $35 to $100 depending on design and you can even get them used and fitted for around $40 to $60. (I have a plastic Zone for 10 pins and 2 other Zones)





Zone is a very dependable ball and plastic will allow you to work on your form. Until you can master your technique and how much hook you will throw, a plastic ball will also allow you to learn how to make your adjustments easier.





There is so much to learn about bowling that is much more then hurling a ball down the lane. Even the way they drill your grips can effect how much the ball will hook.





The game is all about adjustments and moving your lines and/or boards. I would try and keep things as simple as possible at first. Have fun with it.





Shoes can be found at Wal Mart, online or at pro shop.


Etonic usually carries a inexpensive shoe around $25.





Long term, if you get serious, video tape yourself and/r get a coach. Best of luck. Bowling can be a lot of fun and very competitive!
Reply:if you want a cheap ball you can get them for around 50-80 dollars... those are the maxims.... and you can probably get shoes for around 20 dollars... also i would suggest a towel and some rosin to go along with your ball
Reply:Check Sears/KMart for entry level bowling equipment from bags, balls and shoes. They sell basic urethane bowling balls for about $30-$45, which will still hook on today's lane conditions. Bags range from $25-$69 and shoes range from $25-$45.





Online, you can check Buddies Pro Shop, bowlersparadise.com, bowling.com, bowlingball.com and bowlingballsales.com for their discount or closeout equipment sections.





On the low end, if you are serious about the game, you can purchase the Brunswick Avalanche, Hammer Vibe, Brunswick Groove, Columbia Scout or Storm Jolt to start. They are affordable at around $50-$75 each, which will come out to about $105 with drilling at your local bowling center or pro shop. Hope this helps!
