Two-year research project leads to new specification on bowling
ball surface roughness
GREENDALE, Wis. - The United States Bowling Congress and
bowling ball manufacturing company representatives have worked
together during the past two years on a comprehensive study of
bowling ball motion. Now complete, the cooperative research
project's goal was to determine which characteristics have greater
effects on the motion of modern, high-tech bowling balls as they
roll down a lane.
One of the technical study's main
findings is that the major factor in how a bowling ball reacts on a
lane is the chemistry of its cover material. Modern bowling balls
can be constructed with extremely aggressive, porous chemical
materials in the cover, giving the balls potential to easily gain
traction and hook hard and sharp into the pins despite heavy
amounts of oil on the lane surface. Left unregulated, modern
bowling balls could have a disproportionate impact on scoring
relative to player skill in the sport of bowling. |
