Here's WHY! Bowling Leagues use a Handicap Scoring System, to allow for bowlers of different ability levels to compete fairly within the same league. For example a league that uses a 100% of 200 system would work as follows. A bowler who averages 130 will receive 70 (200-130) bonus pins (pins of handicap) added to their score. A bowlers average and handicap will be adjusted each week based on the overall score and number of games. The computer scorers will calculate your handicap for you. Your job is to just have FUN!

If the new league bowler would prefer they will be issued a $50.00 Pro Shop Gift Certificate in lieu of the FREE bowling ball. Why do we do this? To encourage new bowlers to give league bowling a try and find out why thousands of people in the Rockford area enjoy league bowling each year. A bowling ball that is custom drilled to fit the bowler will enable the bowler to improve at a faster pace. *A new bowler is defined as a bowler who has not bowled in a Rockford Area league in past 3 years. When do I get my new ball? New bowler balls will be given out at half way point of your league. What if I want my ball sooner? It is doable just a little more complicated. You will pay a $20 rush fee, then your ball will be ordered right away and be available to you within 2 weeks. Why do I have to pay a rush fee? We are able to get a better price from the supplier if all balls are ordered at same time. When orders are placed individually for rush orders the cost is considerably more. Rhino Upgrade Option Deep Space Mardi Gras Gold Envy Scarlet Shadow Indigo Swirl Caribbean Blue Green Envy Pink Bliss Patriot Blaze Arctic Blast The T-Zone ball is a high quality polyester ball designed to roll straight without much hook. inside view The Rhino is a high quality reactive resin ball designed to give more hitting power and give the bowler the ability to throw a hook ball.
