Bowling balls also have a lot of options for coatings, with a dizzying amount of reasons for coating type. Bowling is an insanely technical sport that seems to be dying to small ball games.

This feels like cheating to me. Surely in an ideal world all balls would be evenly weighted like dice, right?
"You're a pro now. You get two balls. One is just about right, the other will get in the way when you sit in a narrow chair."
I believe it would be weighted on one axis so you can spin and curve the ball better. But i'm not a physicist. I just bowl to get drunk.
It's weird how interesting that actually was. I knew you could order bowling balls with different cores but had no idea it would be anything more than an oblong sphere.
Pretty neat. I've always loved bowling balls, some of them are just absolutely gorgeous. Didn't know they looked so cool inside too.
Must have been the mobile site. But all the pictures were blurry AF.
Works for me. Mebbe a script is being blocked? They look like progressive images (blurry, then replaced with higher q after load)
