Loughborough University and Swarthmore College allows them to plot the ideal placement and path of a bowling ball to achieve a strike under various conditions. Curtis Hooper, one of the authors of ...

The model can take all the relevant inputs that affect a bowling ball's motion and accurately calculate the trajectory to determine the ideal path for a strike. As for player variability ...

The study, published in AIP Advances, outlines how a set of six differential equations—based on Euler’s equations for rotating rigid bodies—can be used to simulate a bowling ball’s ...

“Bowling ball movement is surprisingly challenging ... This will allow the ball to take a curved path, the most effective route to scoring a strike, while also allowing for a substantial margin ...
