What is Bowling?
Getting back into bowling
I grew up working in a bowling alley. As a High Schooler, I bowled in the mens league, averaged around 170ish. Fast forward about 15 years, after the military, starting a career and a family, and I want to start bowling again. I currently have the same gear I had way back when. I have an AMF Sumo, and a Columbia 300 white dot. A young bowler I know says I need to upgrade my gear and my game will improve. I have bowled about 6 games in the last week. I started out with a 137 and worked up to a 186 with a couple 170's games. My young friend has suggested a Storm Frantic and/or a Roto Grip Defiant. I throw a hook, but I am definitely not a cranker. Both of my balls are 16 lbs, and I have been told that 15lbs is more common now. I am looking for any suggestions you may have. I do plan on going to the pro shop at my local alley. Any help is appreciated.

yeah you should go with a 15lb ball there much easy to controll and they hit the pins just as hard as the 16lb balls but ifyou want to get a ball depending on oil conditions i would recomend the columbia 300 freeze it has nice carry on it and u cna drill it any way and it willdo what u want it to do but if you do want something with alittle more backend then go for a columbia 300 bench mark or outburst there both good there both dull but if you want a mid lvl performance ball that will slid down the lane get the columbia 300 eruption it ha the new era skid flip cover stock and it is a perfect ball on any oil conditon even on major heavy oil like the shark pattern i have made this thing move big with itdrilled for length with a sharp backend and i thowit from the 20 to the 10 board but thse are some good mid lvl balls if u want to go bigger like high end balls then there all kinda but i perfer columbia 300 ball cause they have a wide verity of balls that are dull and polished ith close to same reactions but its your chose to pick what ever balls you want

Thanks for the replies. The Sumo is purple with green graphics. The white dot is in decent shape. The Sumo is chipping around the finger holes, so I might need to get it plugged and re-drilled. Keep the suggestions coming guys, I appreciate them.
