High Performance Bowling Balls
To understand the components of
high performance bowling balls is to consider the ball construction materials as two independent components, the coverstock and the inner-core materials.
High performance bowling balls are essentially all poly-urethane based products. These products include additive materials and curing process variations, particularly for the coverstocks, yielding calculated designs in the final bowling ball construction.
The industry refers to various coverstock blends, however, in the following way: plastic, urethane, reactive resin, hybrid reactive, and particle materials. Each of these coverstock material variations yields to the performance range capabilities a given bowling ball possesses. Hybrid or particle coverstocks are, typically, the pro performance ranges of bowling balls and the reactive resin coverstock is found commonly in the general performance ranges of bowling balls, both being available from 12 – 16 lbs in weight and both considered high performance bowling balls.
Naturally, the coverstock is the most important, single factor in determining the right choice of bowling balls but don’t overlook the importance of the inner core designs. Manufacturers will design cores made of urethane and polymer based products in varying density ranges, shapes, and sizes so the end result will influence the overall ball motion predictably as it travels down the lane.
