The Features of Bowling Balls
Bowling is a popular sport among American men. The tools of the trade consist of a ball, shoes, bowling bags and other accessories. What are the characteristics of bowling balls? Can anyone make bowling balls in their own backyard or there is more to it?
A bowling ball is obviously a sphere, but the materials used to manufacture that sphere vary. Rubber, plastic, urethane, reactive resin are just some of the materials that can be used or combined to manufacture a bowling ball today.
There are different types of bowling: ten pin, five pin and candle pin. Each of them implies different types of bowling balls. The most widespread form is ten pin, and the bowling ball common for this sport has some different features as opposed to the others.
The regulations specify the weight of the ten pin bowling balls has to be less than 16 pounds or 7.2 kg. The diameter of the balls has to be 8.5 inches or 21.6 cm. As far as the physical aspect goes, the balls may look the same, but each of them may have a different weight.
Five pin bowling balls are manufactured according to other specifications. The weight of these balls needs to be between 3.25 and 3.625 pounds. The diameter is not exact and needs to be anywhere between 4.75 inches (12.1 cm) and 5 inches (12.7 cm).
The candle pin balls are even smaller than these, weighing only 2 pounds 7 ounces or 1.105 kg. Candle pin bowling is considered by many a greater challenge than the other sports because the ball is lighter than the pin, which weighs 2 pounds 8 ounces or 1.134 kg.
The bowling ball’s behavior on the lane is influenced by many factors. The most obvious of these factors is the player’s delivery. A player has many choices to make when launching the ball, but he has to know the roles each factor plays in the outcome.
Once the ball is out of the player’s hands, gravity takes control first. Once the ball reaches the surface of the lane, friction kicks in. The way player lets go of the ball and what forces he applies to it before influence the gyroscopic inertia. All of these factors need to be harmoniously combined to provide the best possible outcome when a player takes his shot: STRIKE.
Bowling balls come in different sizes. For average players that visit a bowling alley once in a while, using the balls found on the premises is common. But for the avid players, for which bowling is part of their lives, owning their own bowling ball is a necessity. Finding the bowling balls suited for your tastes can be difficult, but when you do, you also need to find bowling bags to match.
Bowling bags also come in different sizes, all of them manufactured to match different balls. Surfing the internet is probably the quickest solution you can go for in order to make comparisons and see a lot of interesting models. If you want bowling bags, balls, shoes, special towels and other unique accessories that appeal to your tastes, all at affordable prices, be sure to visit bowlingballsales.com.

12lbs bowling ball,I love it,people say I should bowl a 15-16pounder?
I'm a 40yrs old man 6'3" 200lbs, slightly out of shape.10yrs ago I could bowl in the 200's with a 16lbs ball,now I find it a strain too get the revolution on the ball to get the necessary pin action. I now bowl a plastic 12lbs ball,I now again am bowling in the 200's.Is their anyone out their who has had a similar experience or that is bowling a 10lbs ball with great success.
Why would you pay any attention to folks who tell you things you already know are strictly your business? What works for EVERY other person, doesn't necessarily work for you. You like the ball you are using. So, keep using it. I certainly am not saying to ignore all advice, but keep in mind that you are you. By the way, I'd bet your average is higher than most of the "experts" that are telling you to do things differently.
