The Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: This weeks tip applies mostly to those bowlers who are using modern bowling balls.
You may not know that the modern bowling ball is porous with several different densities and has numerous chemicals in its cover stocks.
As these ball change temperature, the cover and core will expand and contract. Due to the different materials used for the core, inner core and cover, this fluctuation occurs at different rates.
Leaving the ball in a car when temperatures are severe, very hot or very cold, the expansion and contraction causes severe stress on the cover. This stress is even greater when a cold ball is used to bowl while it is still cold. This may cause your ball to crack.
So this tip is not only educational but let it serve as a reminder to take care of your bowling ball investment....avoid the experience that the above mentioned bowler went through....and if you carry your balls to and from the center.....don't leave them in your car

Ed's Outlook
Syracuse based Lane # 1 and Richie Sposato continues to improve and add to their bowling ball arsenal.
They recently announced the creation of the new BussBomb, a new force in the bowling industry.
The BuzzBomb is packed with their all new double sided "Doomsday Bomb(2) core which generates double the torque, creating double the hook on the backend.
"Surrounding this nuclear power plant is our all new Pure Grip solid reactive cover-stock," Lane # 1 said.
This new formula grips the lanes on the heaviest oil and Lane # 1 said, "you won't believe your eyes when you see this midlane Hook Monster explode with a huge backend," Lane #1 noted.
The new ball is purple/black in color, has a hooking rating of 120 out of 120, has a backend hook of 80%, has a flare potential of 5 plus, has 3-piece construction, has a 1000 grit dull finish and is available in 13-16 pound weights.
Sposato says his company is helping to change the bowling industry by "bringing the sport of bowling to new and exciting levels."
Sposato, a former pro bowler, has also authored a number of writings and columns.
One of the areas that makes the Buzzsaw line of bowling products different is the unique design of the inner weight, which is largely responsible for the way a ball reacts when rolling down the lane. The balls with their diamond-shaped weight (and the laws of physics) is said to spin longer, faster and creates 20 percent more inertia than any other shape.
