Bowling is a sport or leisure activity in which a player rolls or throws a bowling ball towards a target.  It is one of the major forms of throwing sports.  Bowling in the United States and Canada most frequently refers to ten-pin bowling. In the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries it more often refers to lawn bowls.

Why do bowlers have to wear bowling shoes?

Every bowling alley requires bowlers to wear bowling shoes, and it's not just so they can get another couple dollars out of you. It is important to keep the approach on the bowling alley clean of debris.  This is the part of the lane that you walk on, leading up to the foul line, prior to releasing your ball.  Being sure that the shoes are only worn inside helps.  For maximum performance, the approach needs to be flat, moderately slick and free of debris.

Not all bowling shoes are created equal:

What You Should Know Before You Buy Bowling Shoes One bowling shoe is for sliding, and the other is for braking. It's because of this, that bowling shoes are designed specifically for right-handed or left-handed bowlers. The shoe for sliding is the one opposite of the hand with which you bowl. For example, a right-handed bowler will have the left shoe as the sliding shoe.   What You Should Know Before You Buy Bowling Shoes Bowling shoes with padded linings and collars and cushioned insoles will provide extra comfort. They can also provide extra support and stability by minimizing the movement of your foot within the shoe.

What is a bowling shirt?

You want to wear a shirt that allow easy movement of your arms.  Some bowling shirts are embroidered or printed for bowling leagues or teams with a logo, name or design.  It is bowling night, so gear up with your trusty ball and your lucky bowling shirt.
