Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Bowlers: This week's column will answer a question many bowlers ask about side weight.....will it make my ball hook?
The answer is no it will not make your bowling ball hook.
I have been fortunate to be able to spend some time with technical experts, and although we have suspected for quite some time, we now have the proof.
Two factors are needed to make a bowling ball hook....friction and rotation. (Gravity is also needed but I think we all understand or we would all be floating around).
You could take a bowling ball with the strongest weight block on the market, the most aggressive cover, drill it maximum leverage, add all the weight you want, and use a big balance hole, but, if the bowler does not impact proper rotation, or if friction on the ball's path down the lanes is not there, .....the ball will just go straight.
