Strike Zone Bowling

By Shelia St. Germain

Tuesday, November 3, 2009 Tip of the Week

Proper Care of Your Equipment: Now that you've spent a small fortune on your new bowling gear, the last thing you want to do is ruin it.

Avoid leaving your ball in the car or garage for extended periods of time. Bowling balls have been known to crack or even melt from exposure to extreme conditions. A good rule of thumb is to not leave it anywhere you wouldn't want to sleep.

Also, keep your ball clean. It will reward you with steady progress. What you use to clean it with will depend on the kind of ball you have. Your pro shop or bowling center will have what you need.

Don’t wear your bowling shoes anywhere but inside the bowling center. Be careful where you walk and avoid stepping in spilled soda or popcorn crumbs. The idea is to keep all foreign substances off the bottoms of your shoes, especially the pad on the sliding shoe (left shoe for right handed bowlers, right shoe for left handers).

Should you happen to step in something, use your towel or a small wire brush to remove it. Many bowlers use special slip-on shoe covers during trips to the restroom and snack bar for protection.
