Bowling Balls are FOC. Find the best weight/fit for youself.
Shoes are available for rent at $1-2.
Socks are available at $1.
Perferbably bring a pair of your own socks that you are about to throw away.
Snack/drinks are relatively expensive at bowling alleys. It would be better if you sneak in some

Hey Gandalf , I am delighted that Xander has such good taste .... nuts are way better than gold balls ! LOL
As for the bowling ball and shoes, I think we can rent them from the bowling centre .... best bring a can of sneaker deodorant though . Eeyew.....

So do you guys make proper equipments of your own, cause if all is the same, maybe i'll give it a try

There's a big difference between house and personnel balls

There are a lot of difference between the B Ball, the House ball has lots of chips over time but since this is a new bowling centre the condition of the ball would not be very bad and as for Own ball u can grease it and drill it to your specific fingers sizes. Just my 2 cent.

Give it a go e3lipse, u would love it.

PS: FYI some bowling alley takes very serious offence if u bring your own food and drink.
