Need help

Post by PleaseHelp373839 »

So my fiancé has been talking a lot about wanting a bowling ball for Christmas and I have no idea where to begin looking. I tried looking on google, but I feel like you don't always get the best results. He's far from a pro but at the same time I want to get him a ball he will be able to use for awhile at least. Any suggestions?

My recommendation is to get a gift certificate from a pro shop and let him pick one out with the assistance of the ball driller.

Without knowing anything about his bowling abilities and where & how he likes to bowl, it's difficult to recommend something. That being said, I would suggest that you take a look at the Motiv Venom Shock and read some reviews on it. This is a very popular mid-range ball that works well for a wide variety of bowlers, and it performs great on typical house shots. One of my favorite balls that gives a lot of bang for the buck.

You make a valid point. That would make a lot of sense 🤦‍♀️
