@ZvekiSU He tells you how to choose the ball at the end. No one can make a video that gives a general recommendation as to what type of ball someone should choose. It's all about the individual. He's right: visit a local pro shop and see a coach. They will help you choose.

For the rec bowler using house balls there is a simple tip. Make sure the thumb has a tight fit.

@electricslurpee how long has it been since the lane was serviced?

do you mean stripped or oiled or both? usually that is done twice a day at most houses.

you're making this much more complicated sounding then it really is.

it is known as a "weight hole", not balance hole. as a rule any ball that

will work on wood lanes will also work on synthetic, although they are

different surfaces, they are similar enough i've never heard of someone

buying a ball just for wood lanes or synthetic.

He really only put 1 nugget of truth in this video. A polyester ball is great for pickups. But the topic is: What is the best bowling ball for me? Are your lanes wood or synthetic? What oil pattern is used? WHEN do you bowl? How long has it been since the lane was serviced? How hard do you throw the ball? What is your PAP? Will you need a balance hole? Always remember that a strike lies at the heart of 3 factors; predictable physics, random ballistics and potential human error.
