Shopping for a new bowling ball can be a frustrating process because it’s so hard to compare one ball to another.
How can you possibly decide which ball will be right for you when you have to spend so much money to buy them and then have to drill it up to best match up your own physical game with the positive characteristics of the ball itself.
I’m not going to lie, it’s almost impossible to really compare every ball and guide every person to the right equipment but it would be wrong to not try.
For starters we know that bowling balls are standard sizes and weights and their cores and covers have standard characteristics so working within those lines let’s get to comparing some balls!

Plastic Bowling Balls with High performance Cores
One of the newest categories of bowling balls I find to be particularly exciting. There is a growing number of “high-performance” plastic spare balls on the market and although it’s easy to say that all plastic balls are the same the simple fact is that they are not. These are special and any one of them can take the place of two balls in your bag. Check them out and at least learn about them already.
