About Bowling Bags on Wheels
A wheeled bowling bag is a great asset for anyone who bowls seriously or in a league. It is by far the easiest and safest way to move a bowling ball from one place to another, and many are large enough to fit gear into. They come in a wide range of styles and colors to suit the needs of every bowler.

Types
-
Bags range from ones that are big enough to carry just a ball to bags that have extra compartments for things like shoes, gloves, and rags. Generally, the bigger the wheels on the bag, the easier it will roll. Some have composite handles and some have aluminum, but they both serve the same function.
Features
-
Most wheeled bowling bags are made of a water-resistant Nylon material, and have collapsible handles that makes them easy to store. The standard wheel size is 3 inches, although smaller and larger are available. Many will also feature at least one extra pocket for bowling gear. They are also well padded to keep the heavy ball inside from damaging anything.

Identification
-
It can be difficult to differentiate some bowling bags from regular bags on wheels, so if the bag does not denote itself as a bowling bag, try to find things like weight capacity, pocket volume and look at the extra pockets to ensure that your gear can fit in them without hassle.
Considerations
-
Before purchasing a wheeled bowling bag, consider how much it will be used, and how much you would like to spend on one. Cheaper models will feature more plastic items such as the wheels and handle, while the more expensive models will have more pockets and feature aluminum accessories for durability.
Benefits
-
The benefits of a wheeled bowling bag can be significant for people with back injuries or handicapped bowlers. A non-wheeled bowling bag requires the bowler to carry the ball from the car to the lane, and does protect the ball from scratches and impacts. A wheeled bag, however, requires far less lifting, and is easier on the back when transporting.
