Great! Hopefully they will have them in stock when I go Saturday Lol
The Breeze is a good stroker ball, and if you develop into something else, the ball is reactive...Originally Posted by josh83

I'd just say when you walk into the pro shop that you're just getting into bowling and wanted an entry level reactive ball, and that you think the Breeze is a good ball to start with. Chances are the pro will agree with you anyway on the ball choice
I hope so. The the whole question of whether he we'll agree with me is driving me crazy. Even if it's a another entry level like the strike king that would fine too.I'd just say when you walk into the pro shop that you're just getting into bowling and wanted an entry level reactive ball, and that you think the Breeze is a good ball to start with.

I seriously don't think any PSO is gonna refuse to sell a beginner an entry-level reactive ball.
My friend's first bowling ball was a Storm Tropical Storm. 3 bowling balls later, he's using it as his spare ball. The Pro shop owner isn't going to disagree with you about buying an entry level ball to start out with. What he/she might suggest though, is to move up in weight. Most reactive resin bowling balls under 14 lbs have a pancake core compared to their 14-16 lb counterparts. Just some food for thought.
Josh83, one thing I'd like to know is what is your definition of a 'spare ball?'
A bowling Ball for throwing straight to get spares.
I have tried a 14 lbs house ball at the bowling alley and it was fine so yes I will at least go 14lbs
So by your definition, you can use any bowling ball for a spare ball, which you have to remember. I'm sure once you go see your pro shop owner, and you reassure him that you have at least some knowledge, that he won't try to steer you the wrong way. I've only ever once encountered a pro shop owner who I felt wasn't looking out for my best interest, and I simply never stepped into that pro shop again. These guys want to see you improve and they also want your business. Pick their brain and always ask why they would recommend something other than what you were thinking. They have a wealth of knowledge to offer, and if they are able to build up good rapport with you, then you'll be ready later on to come back and buy other bowling equipment to help you on your way.
I always look back to when I went earlier this year to buy my 2nd bowling ball (1st with finger tip drilling). I went into a new pro shop and immediately started looking at the high end bowling balls thinking that's what I needed to start bowling better. The pro shop owner said to me that he wouldn't refuse to sell me any bowling ball, but wanted to get to know why I wanted it and my bowling experience. After picking his brain for 30 min I decided to get a less expensive ball but it was more for my style and it worked for me. I've been going to that same pro shop ever since.
