1.0 out of 5 stars The video makes it look like a great idea..., October 5, 2009
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wii Bowling Ball (Accessory)
Pros -
It does give you the feel of bowling.
It'not heavy
The strap is perfect


Cons -
don't expect to share - once you have the finger adapters set for your fingers it is a pain to swith with someone who is using different adapters.
The pacement of the B button is too low. My finger was hurting from the odd angle by the second game.

Great idea needs some disign fixes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good concept... but not fully thought out, October 18, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wii Bowling Ball (Accessory)
It appears that the marketing & research department at CTA concluded that only right handed people enjoy wii bowling because this accessory was clearly not designed for left handed people. For lefties, the B button needs to be used with either your ring finger or pinky which is highly uncomfortable and frustrating to use. If you're left handed, either learn how to bowl right handed or skip this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars It feels like real bowling, Unbelievable!, November 15, 2009
By 
David Adams (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Wii Bowling Ball (Accessory)
We got this in our local supermarket..... it looks like a real Bowling ball, with the glossy shine, (like it's on the video, not on the picture) In addition, the size is almost the same to a real bowling ball but it's not heavy at all. The only negative for me, my wife is a lefty and she can't play with it. (Maybe for someone selfish it will be a good thing)
The ball splits in half, I can put in the remote with or without the Motion plus, I close it up and I just put in my hands thru the wrist strap and I'm ready for fun. I can access all the buttons on the ball so this is excellent I don't have to remove the remote from the ball to go thru the menu, it's well designed!

It also comes with inserts, I never use those, neither my kids. I don't know why they come included.
