Hooper has been studying the physics of bowling for several years, including an analysis of the 2017 Weber Cup, as well as papers devising mathematical models for the application of lane ...

“That should have been a strike,” Mills says. A technical revolution is changing the game he grew up with. Even if you don’t care about bowling, his vexation is understandable.

In contrast, the new model accounts for critical and often overlooked variables, such as the layer of oil applied to bowling lanes. These oil patterns—intended to reduce friction and guide the ...

A bowling revolution: Modeling the perfect conditions for a strike Conditions from the makeup of the oil on the lane to the subtle asymmetry of a bowling ball can enhance planning for the next strike ...

A USBC-approved bowling lane has 39 boards, each measuring approximately 2.73 cm (1.07 in). The x-axis is measured in boards. The y-axis is aligned with the minimum moment of inertia axis of the ...
