Whether you are a beginner or professional bowler, a bag for carrying your gear is useful. Bowling bags are used for transporting bowling balls, shoes, and other equipment such as towels, gloves or wrist supports.
Depending on the bowler’s level, there a variety of bags to suit. For instance, professional bowlers might own more than one ball. Professionals like to have a choice of different weights of ball for various situations. For bowlers who want to transport more than one ball, there are special bags with extra storage space. These usually have wheels in order that they can be moved without back strain
However, most bowlers only own one ball and may opt to use one from the bowling alley when necessary. For this purpose, a simple bag for one ball and gear is appropriate. When choosing a bowling bag, you should pay special attention to sturdiness, comfort and how well it protects your ball. Make sure that any handles are secure and not prone to detaching – this could cause the ball to fall on the floor or even your foot. You should also look for a spacious interior, especially if you have extra equipment including shoes and wrist wear. Here are some top picks for bowling ball bags to suit a variety of tastes.

This bowling bag is designed for a single ball includes wheels, a welcome detail if you want to avoid a traditional style bag.
