I think you should take a lot of time to pick the right kind of ball for you. Ever person has his or her own taste when it comes to picking bowling balls. The next step is once you choose the right ball, then you must get it drilled correctly to fit your hand. The pro-shop driller will let you know what span is the right one for you.

Once you tell them which one fits fine then the driller in the pro shop can then drill your holes. Ball spans go by letters. Each letter you use for your span determines how he has to drill the holes.
