Ball Care: Dos and Don'ts.



Don't store your ball in extremely hot or cold places. Leaving balls in the car or trunk during hot summer hours can lead to cracking and core separations.

Use a ball carrier to transport your ball to avoid accidental mishandling.

Wipe oil build-up off your ball regularly with a towel or have it polished. This will maximize performance by keeping the pores from being blocked by dirt and limit the amount of oil that can be absorbed into the coverstock.

Don't intenionally drop your ball on hard surfaces.

Resufacing: The track of the balls will become scratched and will require resurfacing after 60 to 80 games. Resurfacing should be done using a ball spinner in order to achieve a uniform surface. Sand the ball with 220 or 320 grit sandpaper to remove deep scratches followed by 400 and 600 grit to bring the ball back to factory dull finish. Factory-polished balls requires an extra step. After sanding, it needs to be polished.

Length and Features of a Bowling Alley Lane: What You Need to Know

Image
Bowling might seem like a very simple game. The only goal is to roll a heavy ball down a lane so it knocks down as many pins as possible. This simplified understanding, however, severely misrepresents everything that makes bowling the complex and exciting sport that it really is. Taking some time to learn the dimensions and layout of the lane is a good first step for bowlers looking to take things a bit more seriously. The Lane Area A bowling lane measures  60 feet long  and it is about  40 inches wide . If you look hard, you will notice small little strips of wood going across the width of the bowling lane about an inch wide. There are 39 of these strips and they are called boards. They are used by bowlers for aiming, but it isn't the primary reference point. In addition to the boards, a bowling lane features seven arrows arranged in a V-shape. Bowlers usually line their shots to a particular arrow. Bowlers aim at the arrows instead of the pins because t...

The How's And Whys Of Your Inner Workings-The Brain (part 1)

 Bowling is a reflex game and since reflexes emanate from the subconscious (your ROBOT), or mental side of your being. So what in fact are we doing--conditioning our reflexes, to respond to our pre-programming. The more successful bowler will use his conscious mind -- rather, he concentrate on four keys: (1) Visualization, (2) No negatives, (3) Laser Eye Targeting, and (4) Ignition-Proper Breathing; allowing your pre-training and pre-programmed subconscious to reflex your game. It's the same pre-shot preparation for every shot and frame. These sound pre-programmed fundamentals allow you to forget that part of your game and concentrate only on the task at hand, the present, the here and now--which is winning. HOW DO WE LEARN OUR SKILLS?:       Our sport requires well-tuned motor skills and a highly developed sense of spatial orientation, or exactly where our body is in space from moment to moment. Both of these functions are primarily the concern of the righ...

Making a Bowling Pin - Series Of 11 Parts With - Part 1

Bowling Tips   This following bowling trivia outlines many of the basic steps that are involved in the manufacturing process of the typical modern day bowling pin. The basic wooden material building pieces, the lamination processes, the cutting, shaping, molding and finishing steps are all going to be shown here in detail. Pins are made of Hard Rock Maple wood, Brunswick claims that they do not use wood that has been grown south of Indiana. This is because of the winters, trees that are subjected to winter do not grow as fast as the trees that can grow all year long. The trees that have to shut down in the winter seem to be denser (it also takes twice as long to grow) and this makes the wood harder. - to be continued -
