Reply to comment by sammer003 in TIL: 5 pin bowling was invented in Canada - and is mostly only played in Canada by sammer003

You know they have different weight bowling balls? Also, having a bowling ball cut to your hand size makes a huge difference. People that struggle to control 14lb house balls may have no problem using a 26lb personal ball

Yes, but don't bowl much - just for fun with a few friends 1 or 2 twice a year. When we last went, there were no smaller - lighter 10 pin bowling balls in our lanes or nearby. We asked the staff and they just said to look for them. But we didn't want to take them from others that were already using them for their kids.

So we booked 5 pin! Everyone had fun!
