LATEST TRENDS

"Innovation in Instruments to Attract Greater Demand"

Due to their greater hook potential, urethane bowling balls are simple to handle. They have stronger pin action and are durable. Bowling balls made of reactive resin have a larger hook potential thanks to more fiction and better pin action. Professionals use proactive balls, which have a rough surface to increase friction. Balls with symmetrical cores have less hook because they have lower flare potential. Bowlers that use drier lanes will benefit from using these kinds of balls. Conversely, balls with asymmetrical cores have a more even distribution of weight. At breakpoints, these balls respond to friction more quickly, enhancing the hook.
