Handle Bowling Ball
The Handle Bowling Ball by Innovative Bowling Products is a modified bowling ball that
has a retractable handle. The moment the ball is released, the
spring-loaded handle snaps below the ball’s surface allowing the ball to
roll perfectly down the lane.
They are available in weights of 6,
8, 10, 12, and 14 pounds.
Our Handle Bowling Ball can be approved for sanctioned USBC league and tournament play but the bowler must first seek the USBC's approval. According to Michael Spridco, Senior director for USBC Rules and Bonding, league and tournament bowlers having a physical need for use of Innovative's Handle Bowling Ball should forward to his department documentation of need as provided by the bowler's physician.
"Any
request for the use of a retractable handle bowling ball comes to the
Rules department of USBC. The information can be scanned in and emailed
to
[email protected] or faxed to 817-385-8260.
Once a request is received, we usually have a decision within 24 hours."
