Custom Design Bowling Balls Let You Bowl With Style

Custom design bowling balls are similar to traditional bowling balls except for their appearance. Normal tenpin bowling balls have three finger holes, although up to five can be used. The three holes are for the middle and ring fingers, and the thumb. The bowling rules require the bowling ball to be 8.5 inches in diameter, although the weight can vary. Typical weights of regular and custom design bowling balls range from 6 to 16 pounds. However, the rules say nothing about the appearance of the ball. Therefore the bowlers can apply any style they choose to their custom design bowling balls.

The first bowling balls were made of wood. Those exist only in museums now. Rubber bowling balls followed and are rare, but they might be found in older bowling alleys. It wasn't until the plastic bowling balls of the late twentieth century that bowlers began experimenting with custom design bowling balls. Bowlers began either softening the hard plastic coating with solvents, or having balls made with softer surfaces. These modifications comprised the first custom design bowling balls. The improvements in scoring made bowling officials take notice.

One of the modifications possible with custom design bowling balls is the grip. The bowling ball gripping holes can be fitted perfectly to the bowler's hand. The hole diameters are optimized to the bowler's finger width. Hole depths in these custom design bowling balls are fitted to the bowler's finger lengths. The edges of the holes are rounded for comfort. These custom design bowling balls allow more precise ball control, particularly for players who impart a great deal of spin to the ball.

There is more to custom design bowling balls than the fitted gripping holes. Many different styles are available. The bowling ball can be almost any color. It can even be ultraviolet! It does not have to be a solid color. Many patterns are available, as are custom graphics, logos, and even photographs. The bowling ball might appear to be a giant eyeball, a billiard 8-ball, or even a ball from a different sport. Almost any color, pattern, or graphic that can be drawn can be incorporated into custom design bowling balls.

Companies have produced lines of custom design bowling balls. Brunswick features the Fury, Inferno, and Radical Inferno lines. Columbia features the 300 Action Attack and the 300 Big Shot bowling balls. The Viz-A-Ball line features balls that appear to be full of money, or the giant eyeball or billiard balls already mentioned. The choice of custom design bowling balls is surprising.

If you are going to order a custom bowling ball, customize more than the grip. The amazing choice of custom design bowling balls will allow you to fully express your style both on and off the bowling lanes.
