USBC BOWLING BALL MOTION STUDY CONCLUDES
Fresh from USBC

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.
