There are many reasons why a bowler may want a mid range
bowling ball. For one, a mid range bowling ball, of mid range
hardness, is great for use on oily lanes. Of course, it is
also great for bowlers to use if they want more hook action
on their rolls.
Overall, if you are looking to step up your game, it is a
good idea to move onto a mid range bowling ball. To go straight
from a basic polyester ball (like the house balls at a bowling
alley) to a high performance ball may hurt your game more
than it can help it.
A mid range bowling ball, on the other hand, might step your
game up just the right amount… and it is going to cost
you less money! Mid range bowling balls can be very aggressive
without being too aggressive.
A mid range bowling ball is going to give you a much better
breakpoint reaction and greater hook. Not until you have mastered
a mid range bowling ball should you move up to a high performance
ball.
It is possible to find a great range of mid range bowling
balls by all of the greatest manufacturers. Something in the
$75-125 price range is generally a good bet.
What kind of mid range bowling ball should you get?
A polyester ball does not grip the lane – it is not
going to give you much hook.
A Reactive bowling ball has better traction. Also, if you
bowl in different bowling alleys that have different lane
conditions, you are going to notice that difference whenever
you bowl with a reactive bowling ball.
A particle ball is going to have a lot of hook to it. Nonetheless,
many people say that they are easier to control than reactive
bowling balls.
Good luck on your search for the perfect mid range bowling
ball!
