When choosing a bowling bag, you need to pay attention to the construction of the bag. It is very important that the bowling bag has a very strong and durable bottom and handle. After all, a single bowling ball can weighs up to 16 pounds - you need a bowling bag that can handle the weight of as many bowling balls as you are transporting as well as your bowling shoes and any other items you carry for bowling.

Most bowling bags are available in roller models, on bags for 3, 4 and more balls this is almost a necessity, however is really appreciated even for 1 or 2 ball bags. You should look for a bag with a heavy duty frame which is constructed of a heavy duty material, with heavy duty zippers or some other style of heavy duty closure.  If you are going to be traveling to tournaments by air, and carry more than 2 bowling balls, you should look for a bag that comes apart into 2 separate bags. Almost all airlines will only allow 2 balls in a bag to be checked, even though a 3 ball bag would still be under maximum weight.

New League Season

It’s been a while since I posted to BowlingInfo101, I guess when I’m not bowling my concentration is not all there.

So with the new winter season now underway I offer this report on my start.

6 weeks in the books, 3 series over 600, and 3 low to middle 500′s leave me with a current average of 191 not too bad for a 63 year old bowler, However examining how I have put this average together does point out some problems and opportunities. The average of my first games is only 173, which leads to the conclusion that it’s taking me way to long to figure out the correct shot, or I just have not found the right equipment to use for that game, My second game average is only 177, getting a little better. The third game average is however very interesting at over 218 with a high game of 269. This is a bit confusing because by the third game I should be a bit more tired, and by this time I usually have a few drinks in me, so the coordination should be suffering a bit.
