What Bowlers Are Saying
Recent verified reviews by gear type, from real BowlersMart customers.
Bowling Ball Reviews
Verified feedback on reaction, pin carry, and backend motion across coverstocks and price points.
Best straight ball for the price I could find.
“Cheapest straight ball I could find. Performs as advertised. My percentage of successful spares went up immediately.”
Great ball for the money!
“I bought this for my 14 year old daughter just learning to hook the ball. The ball reaction is smooth through the oil and just enough bite on the backend for good pin carry and action.”
Another satisfied customer.
“I always buy my bowling equipment from Bowlersmart. They always have great prices and quick delivery.”
Power and energy through the pocket
“I have the original Effect and have been happy with it. The new Full Effect is a major step up. It preserves energy through the turn and really pounds the pocket.”
Bowling Shoe Reviews
How our shoes fit, slide, and hold up for league night, tournaments, and casual play.
“These shoes are very comfortable and they look great too. Size is perfect! I would purchase these again”
“Bought these for my little brother’s birthday and he loved them! Fit perfectly, great price, and the bowling alley employee loved them lol”
“Even though I wear a 13 Wide was able to fit good without being to tight. I love the idea of no laces to contend with.”
Great quality for a great price
“Nice price. Quality is there. Just bigger than expected but fit very well in the end, well tied.”
Bowling Bag Reviews
Capacity, durability, and everyday carry, straight from bowlers who use them.
Great product
“I’m very satisfied with my new Kelly green bowling bag. It’s well worth the wait when it was on back order!”
“Better than expected, I like the big wheels on it makes it easy to maneuver. And Iโve gotten a lot of compliments. Nobody believed me when I told them the price.”
Quality Bag
“The Storm 3 Ball Rolling Thunder Abstract Purple/Black Bowling Bag is not only cool looking but it’s extremely functional and well-built! I highly recommend this bag to anyone who is looking for a 3 ball bag!”
Bowling Accessory Reviews
Grips, tape, cleaners, and the small gear that rounds out your game.
Best grip gloves ever for bowling
“Ebonite has quit making this glove, so they’re hard to find. To me, they are the best grip gloves. My hands are small, so I need an extra small glove. Lest or right-handed, I don’t care I’ll buy it”
“I use the Rev tape on my thumb as the sides get calloused. It allows my thumb to release and gives me a good grip”
Dynasty Black Widow 3.0 Jersey
“I had the shirt custom made to have my name put on the back. The shirt was made and shipped ahead of expected time Frame. I placed 3 jersey orders at separate times and still got the great sane service.”
A must have for all heavy sliders
“I have a pronounced slide into my release which makes this particular slide pad a must have. If your game heavily involves the slide then youโll want this in your ball bag should you come upon a tacky approach one day.”
On Shopping & Service
What customers say about ordering, shipping, and the BowlersMart experience.
“The last glove I got from you was to small so I got a bigger glove this time and different brand thank you”
“Bowlersmart has always been my "go to" place for all my bowling needs. Great prices and love the free shipping on bowling balls!”
“good shopping experience, but would like to know the expected time for delivery under free standard shipping vs. ground shipping that would require the additional payment.”
“Fast easy and very efficient as well as the checkout process and very confident that it is secure.”
“I usually order things at the Peoria, IL location but decided to try it online this time. I expect it to go well. :)”
“W_I_D_E selection of merchandise with a similarly wide range of prices. Excellent site for one-stop shopping.”
“Extraordinary comprehensive products and superlative customer service. Best in the industry.”
“First time and everything looks good. Can’t wait to get my tape and check it out. Free shipping will always bring me back.”
“Found exactly what I needed very quickly. My little brother loves them and they fit perfectly!”
“Everything went smoothly and I can’t wait to get my Alpha Crux from the free ball Friday win!”
“Easy site navigation. Good pricing, but still waiting for some more of those Black Friday deals.”
“Everything looks good. Maybe add a seperate category from the pain product drop down for gloves, but that’s all.”
