	Bowling Ball The Bowling ball is the most important item you're going to need because without it wouldn't be bowling. One bowling ball is required but most avid bowlers often have two to three bowling balls. If a bowler has more than one ball, it's to adjust to various lane conditions which help the bowler get better results and reactions. Most bowlers would a single ball for their first shot and one for their second shot (if they don't get a strike). These are often referred to as their "Strike Ball" and "Spare Ball".
	Bowling Shoes The bowling shoes are going to be the second most important piece of equipment a bowler can have. Without bowling shoes, the bowling center may not permit you to bowl on their lanes. The shoes assist the bowler to increase or decrease traction on the approach when throwing a ball. They also help to protect the approaches from scratches and getting dirty.
	Bowling Towel & Rubbing Alcohol A bowling towel and rubbing alcohol is not required but they help to keep the bowling ball clean and in good shape. By keeping the bowling ball clean, it helps in the performance of the bowling ball such as how hard it can curve on a lane.
