The purpose of the bowling shoes are two-fold:
(1) Give you the proper traction, or lack thereof (depends on the place)
(2) They have soles that don't cause possible damage to the lanes.
***** They are not comfortable, but it's more to allow full foot contact with the lane, for proper slide when delivering the ball (once you play long enough, sliding will happen, and you won't notice it).
You guys are doing a great job!! I did not even know there was a bowling alley in Cuenca! So thanx for the info!!!
Really cool.
Looks like fun.
I live in Cuenca 😂
It is obvious that you don't know ANYTHING about bowling. How sad.
First of all, never use house balls. They are not drilled for YOUR hand, and are meant to be used by a wide variety of people. Secondly, the house shoes are worn by a lot of people, and it is the perspiration from their feet that will be in those shoes before you ever put them on.
Thirdly, each bowling alley should have at least one House Pro who can teach you the fundamentals of the game. This is especially true if you have never bowled before... which seems to be the case here.
You might find that you will have more fun when you knock over more pins! That's where the payoff is in bowling. So if you enjoy knocking over 50 pins per game, you might enjoy it a lot more if you could knock over 200 pins per game!There is an excellent series of instructional videos from the greatest professional bowler of all time: Earl Anthony. Just type in "Earl Anthony teaches bowling" and you will find the links. He advises people to get their own equipment: bowling balls, shoes, etc etc, and he is right. A ball that is drilled to fit YOUR hand is a great asset, and will make it easier to become a better bowler.Good luck!
Are you kidding me??? These kids have never bowled before. In my city in Florida...we always use "house balls" and the "bowling shoes"....we have a very good time and have never had any problems! Bowling Snob!! Really??? And...they do not need any "bowling Lessons"...obviously they are just trying to show what is available in Cuenca, Ecuador. C'mon people!!
1818 WISH The following was intended to answer a comment from another individual, but for some reason it would not "take". Here it is...and some of this does apply to your comment:
More reasons why having your own equipment is really essential to becoming a real bowler! House balls are not drilled for the hands of any one individual. Instead, they are designed for a wide variety of hands. The chances of you being able to go to the bowling alley and find the same house ball each time are very slim! For example: take a person who has large hands: he or she will need a ball where the holes are further apart (what we call the "span" between the thumb hole and the finger holes). That person would not want a ball where the holes are too close together. By the same token, the ball with an ideal span for a person with a large hand would not be good for a person who has very short fingers.
And then there are the fingers: Some people have very slim fingers, while others are much larger. If the finger holes are too big, the ball will feel heavier because you will have to work harder to grip it.
Owning your own bowling ball means that you never have to worry about finding one at the bowling alley. And of course, if the finger holes are too small, you won't be able to get your fingers into them!
All in all, there are a lot of reasons to have your own equipment. However, for some people it becomes a question: "Can I afford THAT particular bowling ball?" Or perhaps: "$600.00 for a bowling ball? THAT'S CRAZY!" That last one is quite true, especially for a new bowler. In the beginning it is not necessary to buy a ball with a reactive surface. Those are expensive, but are bought by bowlers who take their game seriously... or who are "on the way up" the ladder of success as a bowler.
My advice on a bowling ball: Find one that fits your budget, then get it drilled by a well-trained expert in a pro shop...AT the bowling alley! Asking a clerk at a sporting goods store to drill your bowling ball is really asking for trouble later on... when you find out that the measurements were done incorrectly! As for the weight, use the heaviest weight that you can comfortably hold in your hand. The heaviest is 16 pounds, and the lightest are around 8 or 9 pounds (for adults). The advantage to the heavier ball is that it will drive through the pins, knocking over more on any given hit. A lighter ball will tend to deflect when it hits the pins, and that is not conducive to good scoring.
I will be visiting Cuenca sometime this Spring for a 15 day vacation. On my last visit there late in 2015, I did not see any bowling alleys. Then again, there was a very full schedule to meet, and that did not allow time to look for them! However, on my next trip I will be spending less time in the main square...admiring the cathedrals... and a bit more time looking at the city as a whole. I will make it a point to go to at least one bowling alley, but not to do any bowling. I actually retired from the sport in 1991...after having competed in junior leagues, adult leagues, and in some PBA tournaments...for some 29 years. A lot has changed in the game since then, and scores are much higher now than they were back then. This is mostly due to new and better equipment, and to more standardized methods of lane maintenance.
Sorry for the very long message! Hopefully, some of it will be helpful!
