Welcome to the CarryDown blog.
CarryDown is a free, brand-neutral catalog built around one question: which ball should I buy next? Every manufacturer is listed on the same terms, and no ball ranks higher for being from one brand rather than another.
What we’ll write about here
The catalog answers questions about a specific ball. This blog is for the questions that don’t fit on a single ball’s page — how to read the numbers on a spec sheet, what changes when the lanes do, and how to think about filling a gap in your bag rather than just buying the ball everyone is talking about.
Where to start
If you’re shopping right now, the fastest path is Ball Finder. Set the lane condition you actually bowl on and watch how much of the catalog that one filter removes.
From there:
- the Ball Motion Chart plots every ball on one field, which makes the gap in your bag easier to spot than a list does
- the oil pattern library has the lane diagram and oil volume for the pattern your league runs
- New releases are sorted by approval date, so you see what’s coming before it reaches the shops
