Full Description

Sold in dozen packs (12 balls), these practice balls are designed to suit the professional model bowling machine. These balls do not work in the Junior machine.

Available in two weights:

  • 5oz Practice Balls for standard practice (Red or Yellow)
  • 3oz Practice Balls for extra bounce (Orange)

Polyurethane practice balls with a soft case to protect bats from damage.

The balls are dimpled for a stable flight. The 5oz balls give the best accuracy and most realistic bounce.

  • Yellow balls are for better visibility indoors.
  • Red balls for greater realism.
  • Orange balls are lighter than red and yellow. They are designed to give higher bounce to enable players to practice back foot shots at reduced ball speeds. Players can play hooks and pulls safe in the knowledge that the softer ball will not cause injury. Also used for junior age groups to provide bounce when the bowling machine is on its shorter legs. The extra bounce is useful for re-creating different batting conditions (such as a fast pitches) so that batters can gain experience of multifarious wickets and orange balls are also increasingly popular with coaches for throw downs

The accuracy of your machine is affected by the condition and consistency of the balls that you use. Do not mix new balls with old ones as the best accuracy is obtained by keeping balls in batches so they are all at the same stage of useable life. If you are using balls which have lost their dimples, they should be replaced.
