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 ...

Bowling’s elusive perfect strike may no longer be a matter of intuition and experience. A team of researchers from premier world institutions have developed a new physics-based model that can ...

their model creates a plot that shows the best conditions for a strike. The model accounts for a variety factors, including the thin layer of oil applied to bowling lanes, the motion of the subtly ...
