How to Choose a Bowling Ball Weight

Choosing the right bowling ball weight is crucial for comfort, control, and performance. This guide helps beginners, kids, and seniors select the ideal ball weight to enhance their game while preventing strain or injury. A general rule is to use a ball that’s about 10% of your body weight, with children using 6-10 lbs, seniors 10-14 lbs, and beginners 10-14 lbs. Factors like strength, experience, and physical condition also influence the decision. Testing different weights and consulting a pro shop can help find the best fit. Learn how to select the perfect bowling ball weight for a better experience.
