house ball
Communal bowling orb
A house ball is a bowling ball provided by the bowling alley for general use, as opposed to a ball owned by a player.
House balls come in standard weights and sizes with conventional grip holes sized to fit average hands.
Serious bowlers typically own custom-fitted balls, while casual players use house balls: I haven't been bowling in years—I'll just grab a house ball.
