Bowling Math

Overview

This section will cover the science behind the sport of bowling. You will learn:

• What makes a ball hook.
• The physics behind how the bowler controls the ball reaction more than the ball itself.
• Many charts are presented, showing how each property (ie. speed, rotation, etc.) will affect the final entry angle of the ball.
• Friction charts for different shells can be used in the Ball Path Simulator© to see the end result.



While this might sound complicated, it will be explained so that the average bowler will understand.
