First Bowling Ball

You might look into getting both. The prices of good starter equipment reactive and plastic are real low. Some pros shops might even do a package deal if you ask.

That would be nice You might get better deals in the U.S then we do here in Canada. But yeah if it's the right price I would differently do that. I would like to try and keep it under $200.00.

Should be easy at that plastic drilled up should only be about $80 at most. The maxim has new styles out so the old ones here are being marked down.

I have some doubts about maxim. I read reviews that they have cracked open. I have also read that Ebonite has had some issues with their coverstocks

[Jaescrub]

White dots are tried and true. A lil more money :/

I haven't really seen anything on the Maxim cracking, especially after so few uses. Just don't leave it out in freezing temperatures and then immediately try to bowl with it. Also, there is a one-year warranty on Ebonite equipment so that would cover that issue (as long as the crack isn't in the bridge of the fingers).

Both my daughters started with Maxims not bad for the money. I think the cover stock problems you hear about ebonite are more related to their reactive balls or at least the ones I have heard have been

Maybe if you include the years they weren't owned by Ebonite, but now there isn't really much difference between a T-Zone, Maxim, and White Dot.

Most of the cracking I see in plastic balls is related to rolling the ball over the fingers/thumb.

I will see what the pro recommends. I am hoping he well recommend something like the Storm Tropical Breeze. My average goes up every time I bowl with the league I get a little better I now have a 95 avg. if I remember clearly before it was a 85. Don't know if that means anything.

A Breeze is definitely a step up from a plastic ball. Plus they smell good.
