    Lord Field Bowling Ball Production Process at the Yongin Factory

    Okay, I've seen several how their made ball videos, but this was a little different. that laser etching the name in the ball was kind of neat.

    The laser etching was pretty cool. How do the other companies do it?

    I would assume it would have to be a similar process unless they are still doing it with a machine using a actual engraving template with a rotating tool. Like a much more automated version of what PSO's used to use to put your name on the ball if they even do that anymore. I noticed some companies got lazy and it's not even etched it's sorta painted on

    Arsenal consists of mainly 15# Motiv balls, I have several now and they are the bomb! Too many to list and carry. Still have a couple Hammer balls and my AMF RPM Swirl (old reliable) & 25+yr old Linds worth a mention
    Currently 535+ Rev Rate @ 19 MPH (This probably needs to be updated, I think I've toned each down a click or two these days. I'm letting the ball do more of the work as I get older.)

    Besides laser etching, some companies use a computer controlled engraver, which are the main two. Motiv has their NeoMark system where the logos are actually part of the ball.
