In recent years there seems to have been a surge of interest in the pastime of bowling. It seems that you can find bowling alleys within a short drive from most neighborhoods and more and more kids are getting involved in youth tournaments, as adults participate more in bowling leagues. When people start to treat bowling more like a sport and less like a hobby, it is time for them to buy their own bowling equipment and having good quality bowling bags becomes very important.
There are many types of bowling bags available and the most important things to look for when you are shopping for the right bag is how durable it is and how long it will last. Because of these considerations you should look for a bag that has double stitching on all of the seams and has a bottom that is reinforced as well. Also, the handle should not only be comfortable to hold and carry but should be made of non-breakable material as well.
These factors are important because it needs to be remembered that a single bowling ball can weigh as much as 16 pounds. If the bowling bag you might be interested in is a double bag, that can carry two pairs of bowling shoes and two balls in addition to some other accessories, then the durability of the bag is all the more critical because of the load it will have to carry. Before purchasing a double bag, you should test if you are going to be able to comfortably carry a bag that may be fully loaded with shoes, accessories and balls. While it might seem to be more convenient for a couple to purchase one double bag, it will often be too much for one person to carry.
You can also find bags that can hold three to four bowling balls, and in some cases more if required. These are rather exclusive bags and they come with rollers on the base to help you to move them with less effort. Yet you still should remember that when one of these bags is filled up, it will still require some effort to lift it in and out of your vehicle and sometimes down a flight of stairs to the bowling lanes.
In addition to the balls and shoes, many bowlers also include a number of supplies and accessories that they like to have with them at all times. Many bowling bags are now designed with special pockets and compartments where these supplies, such as tape, ball cleaner, wrist supports, rosin and powder, etc., can easily stored and found when needed. With a loaded bowling bag, you will be ready to take on the lanes at any given moment. - 31484
