Questions & Answers

Is this a decent dry-lane bowling ball? I'm not looking for it to hook up too soon. (oil to keep the house in good condition)?

I honestly have no idea. I've never bowled on a non-oily surface. The ball is one of my favorites. My skills were tested by a girl in my league - It was a hit with her. I, too, purchased one.

Are the holes in these drilled?

No, this ball is not pre-assembled. drilled. You had to drill your own holes.

Is there a finger hole included?

You'd never want to order a ball with holes because it's not the right size for your hand, just like you wouldn't want to try to find a ball that fits your hand at a bowling alley. Never rely on the length of your fingers or the width of your hand.

What method is used to calculate the length of fingers?

Because all bowling balls are devoid of holes, you'll need to take it to a pro shop to have your hand/fingers measured and the holes drilled, among other things.

Selected User Reviews For Brunswick Tzone Deep Space Bowling Ball

Start with an 8 lb
4/5

weight for girls and smaller women. As your abilities improve, you can progress to heavier weights. I feel compelled to tell new bowlers that they should never, ever, ever let anyone bully them into taking a ball that is heavier than they are completely comfortable with. As your bowling skills improve, you will most likely want the heaviest ball you can handle. But, for the love of mercy, if you're just getting started! Begin with a small ball and work your way up. To begin with, I was bullied into taking a size 13 or so, and I am a petite woman with small bones and delicate hands. br>br>The larger ball, also without knowing the proper hand placement during release because no one really showed me until it was way too late that I was releasing the ball improperly, but with a heavier ball to begin with, and improper hand placement, a person can completely mangle their hands. It was unforgivable because I DO have small hands, and I rely on them for small, delicate needlework, drawing, and other tasks that require a steady, gentle hand. As a result, it was extremely upsetting for me to have severely injured my hands while playing with too heavy balls! br>br>I've never been a fan of bowling! It's a big, nasty, clumsy ball in general, and it's just a game that isn't as simple as it appears, but it appears to be better suited for large, monstrously large and tall people with large farm hands. Bowling is okay, and I know some particularly slender people who are fantastic bowlers. It can be fun, but it isn't easy, and it takes a lot of practice. br>br>The entire experience was torturous for me because I was pushed to take on the heaviest ball that this other person thought I was capable of handling. My middle finger was severely strained, and my doctor advised that I refrain from bowling for at least three months to allow it to heal. I was in a league, so I kept bowling with my left hand, which attracted a lot of attention, but I'm fairly ambidextrous, so it didn't bother me. It's a little more difficult to bowl left-handed. But none of this, not my pain, my hand's extreme swelling, or the cyst I developed on my hand, which I eventually had completely removed after several sessions with a doctor, and which I believe was caused by the super heavy ball. I should've started with an 8 lb. br>br>I should've started with an 8 lb. br>br>I should've started with an 8 lb It's all about the ball. That's what my instincts told me to do, and I shouldn't have let any arrogant people bully me. I know from my experience in other sports that you must start slowly and never, never, never push yourself too hard in the beginning, or you will become injured, set back, and eventually despise the sport or activity due to the constant pain and injury. As a result, it's not a worthwhile investment. It's critical to start small and gradually increase your strength and stamina. They insisted that I use a 10 to 13 pound weight. Because I was just getting started and my hands and bones were so small and delicate, the ball was far too heavy. It was a terrible strain, and I suffered numerous hand injuries as a result of it, all for naught. I recommend starting with whatever is most comfortable for you and learning what you're doing first, and then, as your skills improve, moving up to a heavier ball as soon as you're able, and stopping there. A heavier ball is preferable because it is easier to get all of the pins to fall down if you hit them correctly, whereas a too light ball may not allow the pins to fall down no matter how well you hit them. br>br>The injuries to my hands caused by the too heavy balls were one of the most disgusting, painful, and unpleasant experiences I've ever had. I despise bowling and am relieved that I no longer have to do it, but it was occasionally acceptable and even enjoyable. Do not, however, succumb to intimidation. Pay attention to your gut feelings. Begin with a smaller ball to get the hang of it. Because of my injuries, I had to downgrade to a 5 lb. Start with a 7 and work your way up to an 8, then a 10. For three years, I was a member of these bowling leagues. It would have meant less pain if I hadn't overreacted, because although too heavy the first ball was a big danger, I started with my other hand, a less-weight ball suited to a seven-year old, rather than the heavier ball as it came off the bat. However, I ruined my bowling experience by starting with a too heavy ball. It was just something I did, but I'm grateful that that part of my life (bowling league) is now behind me. It's not fun when all you can think about is pain and injury half of the time.

This new ball is a big hit with my husband
5/5

It's perfect for bringing in the spares he needs to make his scores sing, according to him! My husband is very pleased with his new Bruswick TZone Indigo Swirl Bowling Ball. My son and I bought him a new bowling ball for Christmas that would provide him with the "hook" that bowlers desire / require to "bring it in!" "That ball did a fantastic job. But. He needed a ball he could throw that would hang straight down the lane, allowing him to pick up those crucial spares. This is the second ball. That's the ball that brings in the extras! It's perfect for him. Because he's content, I'm content as well.

50/50
3/5

I had never purchased a ball before, and it was a gift. It's pleasant, but it's not particularly noteworthy. The colors have a more matte finish. So, to paraphrase an old adage, "you get what you pay for. " I've read about how it cracks, so hopefully this won't be a problem when it's drilled. To tell you the truth, I wish it came with pre-drilled holes. It just seems like a lot of effort and time for a low-cost, beginner ball. It should only have generic hole sizes due to the price range. In other words, "small, medium, large," and so forth. Is this an appropriate ball for a beginner? If that's what you're looking for, then yes. My advice is to look for one that has already been drilled for this price. Why pay more for a drilled ball that is only slightly better than the free balls available at any bowling alley? Most places will drill the ball for free and provide a guarantee if it cracks if you purchase it from them. In this case, you buy cheap in the hopes that it will not crack, and if it does, you will be able to get a refund. do you want to return it? After you had it drilled for a higher price? For this level of ball, that's a lot of trouble. So, unless you're a true fan of the game, don't bother. Thank you for your consideration, but I am unable to accept your offer.

For anyone who enjoys bowling, this is a good beginner ball
5/5

This ball is a favorite of my fiancée's. We paid $25 to have it drilled to fit her perfectly at a bowling alley. A good beginner ball for someone who enjoys bowling but does not want to spend a lot of money on the sport; the price is less than in bowling alley pro shops, but the drilling fee to get it fitted to your fingers may make it the same price as buying it in the shop, as they usually do not charge you for that if you buy it from them.

The Cutest Bowling Ball in the World
5/5

This is a lovely bowling ball. Perhaps not the best ball for your advanced bowling league, but it's ideal for someone like me who bowls for fun. I saw it in my local bowling alley's shop window when the shop was closed, and the picture does not do it justice. I knew I had to have it as soon as possible. Deep Space is a great name because it makes you feel like you're holding an entire universe in your hands. It's purple and blue, and it's glistening to the max. br>br>It doesn't have any holes because holes aren't supposed to exist. You must take it to your local bowling alley and have it drilled to fit your hand; this will cost you money, but it is well worth it to have a ball that is custom fit to you.

This ball is fantastic! This ball has a lot of appeal for me
5/5

I was hesitant at first because I had never purchased a ball online before, but it is lovely and handles well. This is the ball for you if you throw a ball that is fairly straight with little to no curve.

A fantastic spare ball with even more value
5/5

I'm using it as a backup ball, and it's worked out great after some practice. It performs the functions of a plastic ball: It's a pretty straight line. You can get it to move depending on how and where you throw it, and I've even used it as a strike ball in dry weather. I was taken aback by how well it stayed in pins. My spare shooting has improved dramatically since I started using a dedicated spare ball, and it seems silly not to have one for the price. Plastic balls come in a variety of sizes and shapes, but they all look the same, and the t-shirts are the same. Zones appear to be the cheapest, and they have a lot of great colors, as well as Deep Space, which is pretty cool. The colors are vibrant, have depth and dimension, and a lot of glimmer. The only problem is that carrying another ball is exhausting!.
