Topic: Tenpin bowling

I've been bowling in my universty's team for a few months now and could really do with my own ball...

I know very little about bowling balls, besides that polyesters are a bit crap...

I've found these three:
Raw Hammer Anger - http://www.hammerbowling.com/products/balls/detail.php?PRKey=59
Ebonite Tornado - http://www.ebonite.com/products/detail.php?PRKey=236
Brunswick BVP Rampage - http://www.brunswickbowling.com/bvp_rampage

I'm ideally looking for a 14lb ball which will start bending just over two-thirds of the way down the lane, assuming I bowl around 18mph.

Basically, if anyone here knows anything much about bowling balls, please offer some advice!
And if anyone here is from the UK, are there any good places/websites to get balls at american/eastern prices, instead of the rip-off UK ones?

Cheers

Re: Tenpin bowling

I'd ask your coach

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
