Symmetric balls don’t have to go straight, my favorite ball is a DV8 Nasty Rumor and it hooks a lot plus is Symmetric, Asyms just turn later, Symmetrics are an arcing shape
G4Tanus That’s good too. Roto Grip is made by Storm. I recently bought a roto grip hyper cell fused, and it’s by far one of the best balls I have used. It has really good hook. I play around first arrow, and the ball just snaps right into the pocket, and destroys the pins.

"Hook into the pins with more impact" -- makes it sound like the cores deliver more physical power when really hook is just to get entry angle; 3-6 degrees is ideal for striking.
I can throw my straight ball 19-20 mph. My hooking ball does 24-25 mph. The spin generated by the core increases the velocity slightly. If you watch closely, you can actually see the ball speed up right before it hits the pins.
I very keen learn English. I learn it from watching cinema movie about balls. We do not have these balls where I come from. Thank you for reading this.
storm, hammer, wolverine... not sure which comic book character it was named after but i picked one up at the salvation army for 5 bucks. I cut it in half with a hand saw and made a nice engraving base with it. I was sure it was polyester inside as i used to use polyester resin and it smelled like it.
remember trying to learn how to bowl like the pros when i was a teen and untill my mid 20s i accidentally picked up my friends pro ball and realized how much spin i got(i was really drunk that night btw) but i threw it off to the side thinking its was a gutter then...BAM! curvs in for a strike, i was so pissed because for years i thought i didnt know how to bowl the ball but it turns out its mostly the ball doing the work lol. Years later a random bowler from a team told me that he was impressed i could bowl with the regular balls so well and told me i got a good hook with my shots and i didnt think much of it at the time but the more time goes on it just makes me laugh of that moment.
Well it's a polyurethane base but they add in extra ingredients not mentioned like rosin or tar. Stuff to roughen up and change it to a reactive resin or particle stock ball.
i honestly have had storm balls and there not bad they take a good amount of abuse and last a long time and by the time you truly want another ball you have usually beat there ball into acoma by then
I never knew they had weights in them and wondered how they got the balls to curve on the lane like that. When I was kid a friend and I spent an hour breaking a bowling ball open with a sledgehammer. It had like a 3 inch thick plastic skin or whatever it was on the outside, surrounding a cement ball. We smashed it to dust! No weights or anything else. This was over 30 years ago so maybe the weights weren`t a thing yet. Or maybe just a cheap ball.
I noticed some misleading information here...While a round block (you will most likely know it for its real name, round core) is for beginners , proffesionals DO USE such type of ball for their second shot; for example, when you have to knock a pin which has another one behind a "hooking" ball will move out of the way when it strikes the first one, while the round core ball will strike them both with no problem, that is if you do it right of course :)
And the cover basically has no friction to it so it takes extreme revs usually by doin all sorts of bad shit to your elbow with no thumb and the very dry outside boards on a house shot to make it turn
The 10% of your body weight rule applies more to kids if anything. As an adult, I'd say a better rule of thumb is to go by hand size/strength. Small hands/weaker forearm? Stick to 12-13 pounds. Average, 13-15, etc. Though keep in mind, bowling ball manufacturers optimize performance toward 15 pound equipment, and 14 pounds at minimum, otherwise they use a different weight block which will sacrifice performance.
Yeah I have small hands and a weaker forearm so I use a 12 pounder, my dad uses a 15 not a 16 anymore because nowadays they make it so 14, 15, and 16 pound balls deflect the same
TonyTheCat1 the cover stock is the last like millimeter of material on the outer shell if you’re breaking down nomenclature outer shell is an appropriate nomenclature for that part of the ball
@@AlphaFatti, nope, 6-16lbs only for bowling balls. There's no way that the weight would to go over the ball weight's limit. If it does go over, which clearly it does not, I would say it'll be pretty dumb.
you would be surprised- they have to manufacture these to very tight tolerances to meet the USBC standards. It would be a lot easier to make sure quality control standards when you know your weight blocks are uniform.
To say that symmetric balls don't hook much is "completely wrong". Guy has no idea of what's he's talking about. Ball hooking is the combination of RG differential, coverstock strength, and drilling pattern.( even without the bowler trying to hook it). Asymmetric balls just offer more drilling preferences mainly.
Innovative bowling sells engraving filler material for about 4 bucks a stick in several colors. I'm sure there are many other sources who also sell it.
@@JohnAckerman93 I agree Storm is the best company but let’s be real that not everyone loves Storm. To me, I describe Storm as overpowered, so that’s why I go with Team Brunswick. Experience is everything, Bowl better with Brunswick !
I am one of the supervisors of the core room at Storm products here in Brigham City Utah. We make around 2,000-2,100 balls a day.
I MADE THE HAMMER BALL FOR 18 YEARS YOU ALL USE A VICTOR LATHE TOO CUT THE BALLS DOWN 2.500 OF A INCH
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a bowling ball
Send me a physix
Wow! That's production!!
Sweet now you can tell us how to put a fragrance in a bowling ball
This video was actually really interesting
Just randomly clicked this video. It was great! Really enjoyed it.
*_3:42_**_ "...A DE-KNOBBING MACHINE..."_*
*_Thumbs Up if you remember Lorena Bobbitt._* 👍
Unfortunately. I'd rather be Tonya Hardinged than Lorena Bobbitted.
That's my hometown.
Harding did scalp her husband with a metal hubcap from a small truck, threw it like a frisbee.🤪🤯
Symmetric balls don’t have to go straight, my favorite ball is a DV8 Nasty Rumor and it hooks a lot plus is Symmetric, Asyms just turn later, Symmetrics are an arcing shape
Even the timeless is symmetrical and it hooks a lot
The Brunswick U-Motion is a Symmetric Urethane Ball but it hooks a lot like Reactive Resins but still keeping the Urethane type of Hook.
Storm all the way! Bowlers serving bowlers. Storm is the bowler's company
Elaborate? I’m considering getting the storm.secretcode model
I use Roto Grip, is that good enough?
G4Tanus That’s good too. Roto Grip is made by Storm. I recently bought a roto grip hyper cell fused, and it’s by far one of the best balls I have used. It has really good hook. I play around first arrow, and the ball just snaps right into the pocket, and destroys the pins.
I use a 2015 Scream, it has small hook potential but is really good for throwing out near the edge of the pattern.
Except not everyone is a fan of Storm. I’ve used Brunswick and I love em’
This makes me wanna buy a bowling ball, cut it in half and stare at its glorious innards.
Sounds like an episode of "How it's Made".
It is. Same narrator and everything.
I remember watching this in kindergarten after our bowling field trip
Gerat video - Ive always wanted to see how a bowling ball is made.
Finally a factory made bowling ball video that isn't from Ebonite! Storm Nation all day, all the way, baby!
#Cracknation
Bowlers serving bowlers, Storm is the Bowler's Company
No one shout out to Brunswick !?
Thumbs up for bowling
Nice 👌
learning more and more about bowling... i miss my bowling alley :(
shout out to duck pin bowling
Learn Ten Pin Bowling, it’s a mans game. Science and Math of Ten Pin Bowling is a lot harder than staying sharp on Candlepins and Duckpins
I was waiting to hear the candy comparison for the red resin.
I wish the core was really chocolate milk and then the outside made of cheese; then after having a bad game, you at least get a consolation meal.
Huge ball of cheese covered chocolate doesn't sound like a great meal.
I wonder what they're doing in there
Jehan Tremback it's eaten in stages with some bread with the cheese and some cookies with the chocolate milk
So basically you just wasted a $100 to $200 just to eat a bowling ball that can be eaten whenever you have a bad game?
lactose intolerant so at least the blockage from the outside would get cleared once I got to the milk.
I like the "Factory Made" version on how the bowling balls are made then "How It's Made".

Don't throw at the middle
“Choose a ball about 10% of your body weight” - they make 25 pound balls... :)
Phantomthecat i looked and mines like 27
Kenny Watkins balls only go up to 16 pounds.
Who said that? Because that means I should be down to a 14
That’s a general rule of thumb if you have the strength to throw 15 or 16 do it mostly for beginners that’s a good reference to use
@@BAMCIS13450703 i was always told general rule is 1lb for every year of age
The finish bowling ball is ready to strike without finger holes?

No two balls are exactly alike! 😂
I looked and you are correct
They left out the fragrance 😢😢😢
thats what im saying lol
Imagine if they added the product liquid ass to the ball :). That would be awful
@@ebocortex don't give them ideas you idiot. Lol
That would keep away the open bowlers from using your ball
Storm did have a ball that smelt like vomit. Could very unfortunate if left in the boot of a car on a hot day.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
“Factory Made” should be hyphenated in the video title.
Well it's a polyurethane base but they add in extra ingredients not mentioned like rosin or tar. Stuff to roughen up and change it to a reactive resin or particle stock ball.
That is the core of the Roto Grip nuclear cell.
It looks like chocolate to me 🍫
10 years of bowling and i didnt know how the yellow dot got on the ball and now i know:))))
Same I thought it was a decoration
Looks like a og Cell core
It does
i honestly have had storm balls and there not bad they take a good amount of abuse and last a long time and by the time you truly want another ball you have usually beat there ball into acoma by then
Now im not curious anymore
Thanks recommendatins

actually the reverse of the truth!
Symmetric cores definitely don’t roll straight lol
BAMCIS13450703 Neither do those rent-a-balls from the rack. Could just be me.
exactly, balls like the trend and phaze 3 are symmetric and they use alot of energy to hook
@@clayz1 balls like that and those at bowling centers are straight cause they have no core
And the cover basically has no friction to it so it takes extreme revs usually by doin all sorts of bad shit to your elbow with no thumb and the very dry outside boards on a house shot to make it turn

Gata hold it with both hands and granny roll the strike
"Outer shell?" IT'S COVERSTOCK.
TonyTheCat1 the cover stock is the last like millimeter of material on the outer shell if you’re breaking down nomenclature outer shell is an appropriate nomenclature for that part of the ball
Damn,i wanna work there!!!
I bet you don't have the balls!
Do they make 32lb bowling balls?
Nope, 16lb is the max.
Surgical anywhere from 6-16
What about 60 lbs?
@@AlphaFatti, nope, 6-16lbs only for bowling balls. There's no way that the weight would to go over the ball weight's limit. If it does go over, which clearly it does not, I would say it'll be pretty dumb.
No
I Love the T zone ones also
10 Percent of my body weight? a 22 pound ball? Yeah no thanks.
it’s recommended up to #16
Bowling Ball weights is up to 16 Pounds you dumbass !
Today on "why is this in my recommended"
I wonder if that red in the mixing area was for a fast? It did go for a turbine core...
all professional bowlers bowl with asyms and syms. they have a variety. syms are not just for beginners
I prefer storm. The make good bowling balls
So I should have a 35 pound ball?
I think what I should do, is lose weight 😢
Dumbass, 6 to 16 are the weights for a Ten Pin Bowling Ball.
I would love to be a pro bowler if it wasn't for the gutter. Ball so throw lol
Virtual Energy
Tiny death stars.
@rabidninjaboar that's done at the pro shop not the factory
Nice video
good old how it's made.
Why do the cores need smoothed/deburred before they are coated? Surely, such insignificant weight deviations wouldn't make a,y real difference.
you would be surprised- they have to manufacture these to very tight tolerances to meet the USBC standards. It would be a lot easier to make sure quality control standards when you know your weight blocks are uniform.
"Weight blocks" are called "cores" -___-
Chris they could be both, but more people call it a core though
The symmetric block balls hook. The guy is half wrong here. And not all coverstocks are made from urethane
Mjölnir weight blocks
To say that symmetric balls don't hook much is "completely wrong". Guy has no idea of what's he's talking about. Ball hooking is the combination of RG differential, coverstock strength, and drilling pattern.( even without the bowler trying to hook it). Asymmetric balls just offer more drilling preferences mainly.
Looks like Brown 25!
so choose a ball thats 10% of my weight? and the max is 16 lbs? and so i need a 22.5 lbs ball guess ill stick to football
coldnapalmFJ I'm 198 pounds and throw 15 lbs.
If you go over 160 pounds just get a 16 pounder
Is that the M.A.D core?
If you weigh more that 160 pounds get a 16 pounder anyway
1:09 in fact "these ones" ......?? A solid C student talking here, but is that professional narrator quality grammer?
How is the pin size decided?
ty for uploading this i've been looking for it :D ty 20060101 :D happy bowling
To be honest they NEVER fully cure.
Nice! 0:19
6:22 I wonder where can you get that coloring wax? I have a few bowling balls without the logos now and I want to color them back..
KineKlei with a little elbow grease it could be something you could do yourself. Sure there's tutorials on how to fill in paint like that out there!
USE BODY FILLER WITH FOOD COLORING
I used 50 cent Walmart acrylic paint
Innovative bowling sells engraving filler material for about 4 bucks a stick in several colors. I'm sure there are many other sources who also sell it.
10%? Where can I get a 22 lb ball?
Y can't sorry man
So according to the tip on choosing a back size I should be using an 18 pound ball
Ben Workman choose a 16 pounder if you go over 160 pounds
They didn't try very hard to use proper nomenclature.
Are you kidding me. A professional writer wrote the line "THESE ONES"?
2:03 It does Look Like Chocolate :P
Where are holes for fingers?
They'll do it at the shop
They are specific to the person who uses the ball. They have to take fittings for the persons hand and fingers.
@lilmanfromthehood Nope just a regular Vg my friend.
Very interesting
"Choose a ball about 10% of your weight"??? I weight 240, any 24Lbs balls out there?.
it's interesting~!!!
...that's no bowling ball... that's my wife!!!
4:12 thru 4:27 looks like their making some new vg nanos
Back in the day we had hollow bowling balls you filled halfway with motor oil.

is 6 pounds the lowest weight
yes
