Storm – Lightning Storm Clear

When you buy your first bowling ball, you are usually confused about choosing the right weight.

The basic rule when it comes to bowling balls is: the heavier, the better.
More weight creates a stronger impact force in the pins and also contributes to a more consistent game - because you can more easily let the ball's gravity work for you.

Many people choose a weight that is too low for their first ball due to a lack of advice. An often helpful rule of thumb is: the correct weight for your own ball is 1-2 pounds (lbs) heavier than the weight you use for rental balls.
This rule does not always apply completely, but it is at least a guide. However, it only applies to balls that are individually adapted to the player's hand. Because the hole is adapted, the weight of the ball automatically appears a little lighter.

As a rule, men should not choose under 14 pounds.

Weights under 10 lbs should only be chosen in exceptional cases (e.g. for children). We do not recommend weights under 10 lbs for adults, as the durability of these light weights is limited, even for children. Such weights usually do not last long for an adult player.
