Alloz just chanced upon this forum saw your posts and thought someone could help me out.
im thinking of getting a ball but is wondering if that is advisable since i have only been bowling for 4 months and is still fumbling about.
if so then is there any recommended shops with good services? -

Whether or not to get your personal equipment is mainly determined by your long-term goal. Are you playing just for fun and recreation? Or are you interested in picking the sport up on a regular basis? Please don't get me wrong here, i don't mean to say that you only get your gear if you want to compete. The fact is, many people in this forum are recreation bowlers too. The difference is, we love bowling and wish to do as well in the sport as we enjoy the fun we share.
Back to the question: if you only bowl when you go out with friends or the like, then save on the gear. If you're interested in learning the game, then personally i don't think gear can come too early.
There are some who believe that money shouldn't be wasted until one's foundations are laid. But i prefer to think that it's far better to spend a little for personal equipment before picking up any unnecessary 'bad' habits. As we all know, bad habits are far more difficult to kick once ingrained. And personal equipment fits far better than house gear, especially the ball - a well-fitted ball could mean you can play 2 pounds heavier!
If you wish, i'd always recommend Walter Tan of Marina Superbowl. He does my gear and i've only good things to speak of him.
Good luck with your decision, and tell us how it goes!!

lostsheep,
Personally, I think if you are comitted to the sport, as in wanting to learn more about it, get higher scores, etc, then you should get a personal ball. I had personal experiences of trying to hook the houseball when I was just starting out. To me now, that was almost a total waste of money. Getting a ball will ensure you have a good grip, and hence better feel of the ball. You will also need to decide on what style you are gonna to play.
As I had said, you had to have a geniune interest in the sport and not "5 minutes hot temperature" (literally translated from chinese). You might also want to consider getting 2nd hand ball to "try out". This is also relatively cheaper.
As for proshops, I recommend the one at Classic Bowl, Beach road.
May you enjoy the sport and have high games. rdgs. -
i'll also recommend proshop at Beach Road, Classic Bowl. driller is called henry ho. =)

LS
It's simply a ball carrier bag. There are different designs and materials. The thicker, furry kind is about $10 each when purchased on its own. Just enquire at any pro shop.
Btw, where did you get your gear? -

You went to kenneth?? Please tell me that Ken did your ball for you, not the tall, skinnier fellow.
