Choosing the correct bowling ball

The article below is adapted from Superbowl website at http://www.superbowl.com.sg/Index1.html about Choosing the Correct Bowling ball, please heed their advice.

The Bowling Ball (How to choose your bowling ball)

Best to start with balls weighing 12-13 pounds. Numbers mark ball weights.

Weight of ball should be approximate 1/10kg of the total body weight. Raising or lowering of weights later will help insure accuracy and control.

Proper conventional fit:
Thumb should be loose enough to rotate thumb clockwise without friction. Stretch two middle fingers over finger holes. The second crease of each finger should extend about 1/4 inch beyond the inner edge of the holes.
