This is interesting!! I'm a Special Olympics bowler for 10 years! I love to learn something new every day!

I loved that Storm Hot Rod Hybrid they featured in that. I rolled my second 300 with that ball.

"This Machine shapes the ball with out removing a lot of resin." and it takes a good half inch (1cm) of.

They really need to clean those balls more thoroughly before using them so the bowling pins wouldn't be so dirty afterwards

@vitruvian8807 The'yve missed quite a bit of detail in this. Take a closer look and you'll see a yellow dot about 3/8" across on the surface of these balls. That's the riser pin which locates the centre of the ball core. That pin can be located in relation to a player' axis of rotation to create a larger or smaller "wheel" within the ball. Larger distances rev up slower, smaller ones faster. It's a lot more complex than that, but I'm sure you get the idea.

I have a Storm Fast, Cherry smell...love it!!!!!

very nice

In order for a ball to hook. A ball has to be custom drilled for the person who is using it. Not just anyone can make the same ball hook.

It appears that Storm bowling balls are made in America I like that

House balls do have a smaller version of a weight block or (mechanism) as you described it.

Umm, that whole thing about the core is completely wrong. That slab at the top is *NOT* what causes the ball to hook... If you look at other professional bowling balls, they don't even have that slab, that's pretty much unique to Storm. Its the shape of the core that causes the motion of the ball in combination with the ball's surface.

the core determines the weight not the outer shell. shell thickness can vary but it's density from ball to ball is the same.

@speedyduck38 Narrator meant the location of where they were when the video was shot.

I LOVE Bowling

its depends from wich side the ball has a "charge", the depth of the finger holes may also be considered in a shot, but usually in any bowling place the balls doenst have any specific charge at any side and they have a coventional grip. Excuse my definitions I dont know the specific word from spanish to english for grips and ball charge.

so how do they make the clear ones with the skull inside

personally im a hammer guy but these storm factorys give bowling a bad name hammer psycho for me

omfg where i live i remmember making fun of the Storm ball and now i know how they are made.. :P

@JasonDoust Also, they don't drill the holes at the factory.. that is the job of your local pro shop operator. And i highly doubt that they actually used metal for the weight blocks...

@chow3000

There are when the customer requests them to be pre-drilled. Some companys won't drill upon request but most will provided you give them specific drilling (measurements). And of course in that case the customer needs to make sure they give the exact measurement and they (customer) assume responsibility if they give the wrong info.

@@kyletheune6280 You're an idiot. Those don't come from the manufacturer. Higher-end balls like those in the video are shipped to pro shops undrilled. You buy them from an online pro shop like BowlerX, and you can tell them what you want done. If you know your span, pitch, and whatever else you like the people at the pro shop drill them.

Should have included that the hole werent being drilled at the factory. A normal house ball would be, but a special bowling ball like the ones featured in this wouldnt. You would get your finger/thumb width and hand span measured at a pro shop and then they would custom drill the ball for your fingers only

Those are storm hot rods

ooh mine was candlepin bowling.

They should’ve filmed the bowling at a tenpin bowling arcade place 😂

That would be the point of a curve ball isnt it? My dad would specifically request what area of where to put the extra weight in order to match to his certain throwing style. Curved balls typically have two holes instead of three.

It's only if you get that specific ball. House balls usually don't have this mechanism.

Now adays, for the last step you have to go to a pro shop and get the holes drilled. Storm or any other companies like Ebonite dont do predrilled anymore.

actually up until recently a bowling ball was allowed to have twelve holes. it has been reduced to eleven. you are allowed one for each finger (thats 5), then you are allowed a small "vent" hole for each finger to allow air in and out so you don't have a vacuum effect when releasing the ball, then a "weight" hole to make it legal, and before resin balls the PBS used a durometer hole above the fingers 1/16" deep to be sure the surface wasn't tampered with thats 5+5+1+1=12

I wonder if the hot rod hybrid ball still selling for 2023?

I was really hoping the last manufacturing step would be to take the ball and roll it down an alley, 5:22 yay!

Because the light weight one's don't get made with a weighted core like this, the rest of the ball is also made from other materials

most everyone who bowls is aware of the feature the reason most people dont have reactive balls as they are called is they arent very cheap ranging from $90-$200 dollars or more

The skull is the denser core, while a clear polyurethane is used to make the body of the ball. Same concepts, different result.

i like lighter balls but the holes are too small for my thumb my mom says i cant have a customised ball what to do?

0:01 start

That’s a lot of balls

They don't put metal in the ball as mentioned at 0:54, that would be against USBC regulations.

Different companies have different ways of creating balls.. Some (the yellow pin you see in the ball) hanging outside the ball through the mold.. It is later cut off and then the ball is cut on a lathe and pretty much the same process you saw in this clip.. So, the ROSE (it's own weightblock) is hung while the ball hardens..

@ryoryox I take it you don't bowl competitively. A ball itself will last for a long period of time. If the bowl isn't resurfaced or cleaned it could soak up enough oil over time to die out.That only goes for. resin and urethane balls.The reason so many people buy so many bowling balls is for many different lane conditions. A vas arsenal will help on a sport shot.

No. The coverstock and your unique release determine the shot shape. And the core helps the coverstock

The drilling of the holes is NOT an automated process. It's very custom. I would know, it's my career.

The american way of production xD But the Balls are great.... Storm, Hammer and Co I love Bowling =)

It depends on the bowler. My friend bowls with two curve balls and one straight. While i use only straight. Its all to do with prefrence... Not with skill level. Even though i soon will get a curve ball, pmy prefrence is straght

i like bowling
