Length and hook potential are the two most common factors in first determining if a new bowling ball will match the lane conditions you frequently encounter and with drilling layouts that influence ball motion after drilling.

The Radius of Gyration (RG) and the Differential of RG are two factors used when describing a given bowling ball’s reaction capabilities developed and based on its core design.

Knowing the Flare Potential rating, produced chiefly by the core design, will help you determine the amount of hook a given bowling ball possesses and how it will react in the mid-lane and on the back-ends.

The coverstock is probably the major factor in determining the length potential of a given ball.

Solid and Pearl reactive coverstocks offer the widest variety of ball motion options. Other coverstocks such as Urethane, plastic, or particle options offer additional ranges in ball skid potential.

The coverstock surface preparation variables, such as the grit texture the factory finishing process produces, is another important factor in selecting a coverstock which influences skid length and ball motion in the mid-lane and on the back-ends.
