Bowl against the best PBA has to offer!
How do you think you’d fare against the cool confidence and pin-point accuracy of Walter Ray Williams, Jr. or the brash power stroke of Pete Weber? How would your scores stand up against the high spin and smooth release of Norm Duke or the high cranking backswing of Parker Bohn III. Based on actual statistics that track their bowling power, hook, and control, PBA Bowling Challenge strives to accurately recreate the skill and style of the top bowlers in the sport today.
Split Ball, Bomb Ball, and more!
They may not be tournament legal in the real world, but these special balls can really help you out in a tough tournament.
If the lane seems too big and your bowling ball seems too small, the Lightning Ball’s swirling storm of electricity is sure to hit something!
Want to clear a 7-10 split without breaking a sweat? Try the Split ball! It splits into two balls when you tap it!
And when you absolutely, positively have to knock down every pin on the bowling lane, the bomb ball is what you need. Just hit a single pin, any pin, for an explosive strike.
Recent changes: Strike! The new PBA Bowling Challenge v3.24.0 update is now available for you to take a shot at.
- Oiled the lanes and polished the pins of bugs!

I love this game best bowling gsme by a long margin it's a shame the new bowing game on console is so bad I can't even leave a review and the bowling controls for the console are terrible and I can't even exit the game properly I have to restart my console to exit the game at least the mobile phone version is good and love the bowling controls

I really like the game itself, it's fun. My issues are more that it wants more energy to play a game than you usually have and that to buy new balls is ridiculously expensive! I don't mind playing longer to receive things, but it seems that this game only rewards you for buying points instead of earning them.

This game would for me be a 5-star bowling game. There is just one glaring issue that it has and that's the energy system. I understand the idea behind the energy system however it should not be 1k energy for one game of a 5 game tourney. As someone who has a lot of the balls in game, the only ones I can use are the ones where every throw you get energy back. 1k energy for a whole 5 game tourney makes way more sense in my opinion not 5k energy for the whole tournament.

Welcome folks to scamming bowling, where the scams and the ads are waiting for you. Also bring a wrench, so you can unbolt the corner pins. This game rates 1000 for scam and ads. Bring some wd 40, you will need it for the corner pins 📌 😉. By far the worst bowling game on Google play. Pure scamming rigged trash 🗑

Game won't load. It shows the Concrete lead in then it's just a black screen.

Pin physics are good but the controls are absolutely atrocious. Even ignoring hook controls being weird, just the ability to throw in the direction you intend or at the speed you intend might as well be determined by random number generators
