Things You'll Need:
- Selection of bowling balls
-
Step 1
First and foremost, you should find a pro shop that specializes in bowling ball fitting. Discount stores will not only give you cheaper equipment, they will also give you lower quality.
-
Step 2
Determine your grip style. There are three styles: Conventional, fingertip, and semi fingertip. Most people use the conventional grip which has you sink your fingers into the holes to second joint. The fingertip grip sinks your fingers up to the first joint, and the semi finger tip is even less than that.
-
Step 3
Insert your thumb into the holes up to the webbing. This will allow you to better gauge the hole distance and the snugness of the holes.
-
Step 4
Determine the desired angle of the thumb. The closer the thumb is to the finger holes, the more reverse pitch you will need.
-
Step 5
Try out your selected ball. Play for at least 1 entire game to see if the ball fits your style. Measurements can only take you so far.
