How to choose a bowling gift
Start with how they bowl. A newer bowler gets the most from an entry-level ball and a pair of their own shoes. A league or tournament bowler usually wants the next ball for their arsenal, a bag that carries more of it, or the small things they use up every week.
Then set a budget. Shammies, ball cleaners, ball cups and tape all cost under $50. Bags and shoes cover the middle of the range, and a new ball is the big gift.
When you are not sure of a size, a weight or a brand, a gift card lets them choose. For kids, a lighter ball and youth shoes in kids sizes make a first set of gear of their own.
Bowling gift questions
What is the best bowling gift for a beginner?
An entry-level bowling ball and a first pair of bowling shoes. Entry-level balls are easier to control while a new bowler learns, and their own shoes replace rental pairs. Add a one-ball tote and they have a complete starter kit.
What weight bowling ball should I buy as a gift?
Most adults bowl with a 12 to 16 lb ball, and kids usually start between 6 and 10 lb. If you are not sure, a BowlersMart gift card lets them choose the weight themselves.
Does a bowling ball need to be drilled?
A ball is normally drilled to fit the bowler’s own hand, and drilling needs their measurements, so most people give the ball undrilled. The bowler can then have it drilled at a pro shop. Undrilled balls can be returned within 60 days; drilled balls cannot.
Can bowling shoes be returned if the size is wrong?
Yes. We accept returns within 60 days, so a wrong size after the holidays is an easy fix. The only exceptions are drilled bowling balls and mystery items.
What makes a good stocking stuffer for a bowler?
Shammies, ball cleaner, a ball cup, finishing pads and tape. Bowlers go through them every session, and they all fit in a stocking.
Do BowlersMart gift cards expire?
No. The balance does not expire. Gift cards come in amounts from $25 to $200, are sent by email, and are spent online at BowlersMart.com.
How do I make sure my gift arrives before the holidays?
Order early and check the estimated delivery date at checkout, because carrier times stretch in December. For a last-minute gift, a gift card is sent by email.
