I need a bowling ball recommendation for a beginning bowler?

I would recommend you use a plastic bowling ball.  Plastic bowling balls are designed to roll straight down the lane instead of curving in at the last second.  It is a really easy ball to throw and can be ordered at any weight & color.  A few websites to try are:  \n1. www.bowlersparadise.com- they have balls, shoes, bags, help, and experts always online.\n2. www.bowling.com- has a nice size selection\n3. try going to your local bowling alley, they usually have a pro shop where you can buy the same things but also talk directly to the owner. \nhope this helps!

The two best pool balls available on the market are the "Aramith Super Pro" set and "Brunswick Centennial" set.  There are lower grades of Aramith and Brunswick balls, but these are the top of the line for each brand and are comparable in quality.  The standard size for pool balls is actually 2 1/4" diameter.  Check out the websites for each brand for a more detailed description.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Hey It_girl, you're going to find that each person has their own preference for racquets. My preference is Wilson, but I admit that there are other brands that have good sticks as well (I also like Head and Babolot). That said, this is a question that is asked pretty frequently. Here's what I suggest:\n\nRULE #1: Don't buy a racquet before comparing it with others. Most tennis clubs and racquet stores will have some sort of demo program that will let you try out a variety of racquets for a few days for just a couple of bucks. Often, they'll let you put this money towards your futures purchase. If you're having a hard time finding a store that will let you demo a racquet, then check out the website included in the sources.\n\nRacquets come with different stiffness, weighting, stringing patterns and lengths. All that adds up to a lot of different choices and a lot of different feels. If you're a beginner, then you probably don't need to shell out much money yet for a racquet, just find something that feels good in your hand and use it until you want to try something new.\n\nIf you have loopy strokes and have no trouble adding your own power to your shots, then you want a racquet that isn't as stiff, and that is head-light--usually termed a control racquet. However, most of the population will find these racquets ill-suited for their skill. With that in mind, I'll mark some rules of thumb below to help you sort out the differences:\n\n1) Stiffness. The stiffer a racquet is, the more power it produces. You mentioned that your racquet isn't controllable. If you mean that you have a hard time keeping the ball in the court, then it's probably because your racquet is too stiff for your style of play.\n\n2) Weight. Heavier racquets are usually less stiff, because they allow you to generate more momentum behind the ball (as an analogy, think of the difference between a hammer and a sledge hammer; if a racquet has more weight to it, it can pack more of a punch). Most players will want a stick that falls in the middle of the pack to the light side.\n\n3) Head-heavy or head-light? Head-heavy racquets are usually those that allow you to generate more momentum (see #2). Pros will play with HH, while recreational will play with HL, because it requires less effort to hit the ball.\n\n4) Stringing patterns. Some racquest have more open stringing patterns while others have more dense patterns. You can judge by looking at how close together the strings are across the racquet face. Different patterns have a different feel and make it easier to apply spin and also give a larger sweet spot. You may want to see if you can find a pattern that feels better with your game.\n\n5) Lengths. Manufacturers make racquets that are an inch and a half longer than normal. These racquets give you more whip to your serves. Some people find them unweildy. I don't like playing with a longer stick, but you may.\n\n6) Feel. Each manufacturer has its own feel. I am a Wilson fan, because I love the feel of the racquet. You feel every aspect of the contact. I don't like Prince's feel, because it feels heavier and more dead to me, but that's just my opinion. Babolat racquets have a similar feel to Wilson. Try a bunch of manufacturers and find one that you like.\n\nAgain, demo a bunch of racquets (most sporting goods stores and tennis stores have a demo program; tennis warehouse has an online program that you may want to look into--I've included the link below). Don't buy anything unless you're sure that you like it enough to buy three.\n\nI hope that helps.

For golf balls, I would recommend the Pro V1's.  But you really don't need such a high quality ball if you are a relative beginner.  You really wont notice a difference.  In terms of best bang for your buck, I would buy AA quality used Maxfli Noodles.  These balls cost about 48 cents each shipped.\n\nFor clubs, it really depends on which clubs.\n\nFor drivers, Taylor Made is hard to beat.  Callaway is ok as well.  There are actually quite a few good driver makers.  Best thing to do is look around and demo.\nFor fairway woods, Tour Edge Exotics is probably the best.\nFor hybrids,Nickent, Cobra, and Taylor Made lead the pack.\nFor irons, Mizuno wins hands down.\nFor wedges, Cleveland, Mizuno, and Vokey are among the best.\nFor putters, it really is a personal preference issue.  Some of my favorites include the Odyssey 2-Ball, the Heavy Putter, Bettinardi, Guerin, and Gauge.  Other popular brands include Scotty Cameron, Never Compromise, and Yes!\n\nHope this helps!

well i like the nike one. it gives me ultimate performance for my demands. nothing to take away from the prov1, its still a great ball. i like nike because i like the swoosh sign and its not something distracting when i tee it up. i also have a bit of nike clubs, not sure if this makes me biased. ignite 460 driver, pro combo utility iron, 3-pw nike nds, and a tiger woods lob wedge. \n\n:-) :-)

Golf Balls\nThe construction of the golf ball has changed a lot the past 10 years I'm going to cover 3 areas\n\n1.  Harder golf balls, some call them two piece, they are promoted for distance - these balls will go further than the other types.  The ball will hook or slice less and  will not stop on the green as well as the other types.  This ball is harder to fade or drawl.  This ball will bounce higher than the other balls if dropped on a hard surface\n\n2.  This ball is built for feel but has a harder cover - You get good distance but not as good as the 1st.  The ball will stop on green a little better and will move around a little more.  This ball will have some spin on it.\n\n3.  Softer ball - This ball has more feel to it.  The ball spins so it will hood or slice more.  The ball stops on the greens.  You can move the ball around.  This ball is very pricey and not as durable.

There is a golf ball for each type of player.  Better players want more spin and control.  Most of the better and expensive balls have this, and they usually go about the same distance off of the driver.\n\nMediocre players(like me) usually want balls with a little less spin, which promotes hooks and slices.  Also price is a big factor since most mediocre players lose some balls during play.\n\nAnd there are also balls made for people with a slower swing speed. These tend to be softer balls.\n\nAccording to tests done by Consumer Reports, best balls for low handicappers include:\n-Nike One Black\n-Callaway HX Tour\n-Titliest Pro V1 and Pro V1x\n-Ben Hogan Tour Deep\n\nMid to high handicappers include:\n-Nike Power Distance Super Soft(Ranked very high and also affordable)\n-Callaway HX Hot\n-Pinnacle Gold Distance\n-Pinnacle Exception\n\nFor Lower Swing Speeds:\n-Titleist SoLo (Which I like cause I don't really lose distance off the tee, but it is soft around the green. Also I have a normal swing speed)\n-Precept Lady\n-Pinnacle Exception\n\nI say just try different balls that you feel suits your game. It will make a difference.

So am I. Although I haven't found the exact one I'm looking for, I have been having success finding some models. Some alternate names to search are "walking moonball" "moonball" "rolling ball" "dance ball" "water ball" "roller ball" "ball coaster"\nThe following sites are where I have found a few moonballs. The last link I posted is the closest to what I'm looking for, but it's still not exactly it. Let me know where you find yours and I'll check it out. Also, I have not come up with any prices yet although I'm expecting $500 U.S.  to be the cheapest based on what else I've seen out there. Let me know what prices you come up with when you find what you're looking for.\n\nThanks, and good luck.\n           -Tim\n\nhttp://www.bizitairproducts.com/waterball.htm#\nhttp://www.china-inflatable.com/products/sports5.htm\nhttp://www.made-in-china.com/showrooms/weimei168/3/TAyMDg0OTYzM/mic/mic/mic/Inflatable_Roller_Ball_P-05.html\nhttp://www.giftsandhome.globalsources.com/gsol/I/Inflatable-play/a/9000000070247.htm\nhttp://ciaky.trustpass.alibaba.com/product/11127536/Moon_Walking_Ball.html?chkProductIds=11127536&ad84kt=y

Depends on his style of play. If he likes more control and spin, he'll want a softer ball, preferbly a 3-piece ball or even a 4 piece ball. The Callaway HX Blue series are a good example of this type of ball. They run about $35 a dozen, give or take.\n\nFor distance, a beginer would do well with a 2 piece ball with a hard cover. Generally these types of balls run $15 - $25 a dozen depending on brand and type. The Callaway HX hot is a 3 piece distance ball that runs $25 a dozen.\n\nThe cream of the crop (like the Titelist Pro V1-x or Callaway HX Tour) run about $45 - $55 a dozen. The Pro V1's is the number one golf ball among the elite golfers and professionals. The number 2 ball on the tour would be the Callaway. These ball combine the best of distance and control.\n\nFor the average user though, just use the Maxfli Noodles or Top Flite 3000. They're decent balls and don't run an arm and a leg. The best thing is if you lose one in the woods or the water, you don't get all bent out of shape over losing a $5 golf ball.\n\nHope this helps.

If you're new to paintball, stay away from the Ion and go with a Tippmann. Tippmanns are durable and very low maintenance. Plus they make tons of upgrades for them.\n\nIons are not a good choice for a beginning player.

Well nowadays there's really only two major types of balls. Multilayer balls and one piece balls. \n\nOne piece is your basic Top-Flite XL or Pinnacle Gold....just meant for distance only and you can buy a dozen at your local Wal-Mart for 10 bucks. \n\nMultilayer balls are more expensive and meant for the player seeking different levels of performance in his/her game. Relating to their construction they're meant to have differing levels of spin and launch angles depending on what type of player is playing them. \n\nThe Titleist Pro V series is a good example of a ball for good players. It spins hard off the wedges and launches high with very little spin (relative to other high spin balls) off the driver. \n\nThe Maxfli Noodle would be an example of a ball that doesn't have a lot of spin off the driver either, but it doesn't spin as hard off the wedge.....but it would be cheaper than the Pro V....\n\nSo when choosing a ball it all depends upon what type of player you are and what type of performance you want out of your golf ball.
