Because this site provides continuous editorial bowling articles, we thought it would be fun to hear from our friends whether you think bowling is an easy or difficult sport?

Recently we posted an article asking if bowling was your favorite sport and we received many intelligent and useful comments. We would like to ask you now your opinion about the many challenges bowling presents and which are the easy and difficult aspects of this game?

Let’s get you started by saying that bowling is a very easy game for anyone to go do by definition but it is very challenging to do at a high performance level.

Here is additional criteria to help you determine easy and difficult aspects of the sport:

Do you bowl only socially or recreationally and use the house equipment provided at your local bowling center?

Are you a handicap league bowler bowling in mixed adult leagues?

Do you bowl in extremely competitive leagues where the top tier players in the area also bowl?

Do you own more than one bowling ball out of necessity or just because you enjoy having options in ball reactions?

How many games per week on average do you practice to remain sharp for your competitive league sessions?



Do you bowl in tournaments both locally and out-of-town events?

Is tournament bowling more enjoyable to you than league bowling?

We would like to read your comments about the challenges you derive from bowling and why?

We thank you in advance for your participation and are anxious to read your comments.
