With the use of THROBOT and the Computer Aided Tracking System (CATS), we are able to give a market comparison of today's performance balls.
Feel free to pause and watch again to get all information presented.
Test Parameters - ThroBot- CATS:
a .Ball drilled to match average league bowler : 45 x 5 x 30
b. RPM 325
c. Ball speed 16.5 mph
d. Axis of rotation 50 degree
e. 7 degrees of tilt.
f. All balls box finish by manufacturer
g. Flat pattern 42 ft with 31.6 ml of oil
h. All balls thrown for 5 games to minimize impact of mechanical friction advantage due to surface preparation
i. Lanes oiled after each ball was thrown 3 times, the third throw was used for data gathering
j. CATS data recorded total hook in boards, distance before it begins to hook, Angle of entry and decrease in speed.
*The comparisons provided have been prepared as a guide and they are intended for informational purposes.
