Question about why reactive resing revolutionized bowling balls.

[Ball99999]

I know they're there to create friction. Some say it's for entry angle though, and I can definitely see how that helps. But if you didn't have a big entry angle, would they still help?

Does a ball need that surface to friction reaction to enter into a roll?
If hypothetically you threw a very low entry angle reactive resin ball, like a straight ball, and it entered into a roll right in front of the pocket, would this alone make it a bigger carry ball?

No, I couldn't have. But even if I could, I asked here.

So now posting on forums is lazy?
Well gee why even have internet forums, just google EVERYthing.
But wouldn't you know it, that article didn't answer my questions.

also resing is wrong its resin

"The resin particles cause the ball to skid on top of the oil more than a standard urethane ball, but they also grip the dry part of the lane much better. So, on a regular oil pattern, the ball is intended to skid out to the break point, then grab onto the lane and hook aggressively into the pins. This is called backend.

Backend is important because it drastically increases your strike potential. With a urethane ball that gradually hooks all the way down the lane, your entry angle to the pocket won’t be as good as that of a reactive-resin ball that skids to the end of the oil and then makes a sharp turn into the pins."

your asking if a lower level one would do the same thing... why wouldn't... 2nd any reactive bowling ball will move 2-5 broads if thrown straight ( i don't know if they don't have finger tips in it

Well everyone knows it's resin, it was just a typo.

I think I'm going to wait on someone else to answer this one.

Back in the 80's balls were made of urethane,which ment they were just above a spare ball. In the 90's companies started to add resin to the urethane balls so,they would grip the lanes better and give a bigger hook on the dry back end and be more controllable. Now balls are made of reactive resin,giving monster hook in back end and more versatility on light-heavy oil conditions.

Take a ball from the 80's/90's(Urethane/Urethane resin)and see if you can get it to hook in medium-heavy oil with the same hitting power of todays balls. If I took a reactive resin ball into the past,i'd be a bowling GoD!
