Question? Why are most bowling balls released in April/May? Leagues are over and people are playing golf up north, wouldn't it be better to market the balls in August/September as winter leagues are starting up?
Excellent question!!! Ball manufacturers release new stuff every month so April and May are only different in the types of balls that come out. I think a lot of mid/lower end pieces come out around now for summer leagues. They are a place where a lot of beginners get started. These types of balls are good for all kinds of bowlers of course but especially good for folks learning since they provide a nice balance of performance, control, and price.
